WILKES-BARRE -- Ted Gross was 15 when the Hungarian army tore through his
Romanian town, rounded him up because of his religion, threw him into a box
car, imprisoned and branded him. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 He tells about his experiences in a concentration camp, how he and others
were forced to burn the bodies of those killed and use the piles of dead for
shelter in the winter. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "I lost my entire family. I'm the only one left," he said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The brand on Gross' arm,"18138," serves as a tangible reminder of living
more than a year in a concentration camp. But there are deeper scars. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Talking about this makes me feel rotten because it's reopening old wounds
that never healed," said Gross. "But I do it because we have to keep it alive
and we can't let it happen again." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Gross shared his experiences with area educators Friday at the Jewish
Community Center during "Witness to the Holocaust." Organizers previewed the
event for school officials in hopes they would send students to the program
May 5-10. More than 1,000 youths attended last year. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Gross' mission is the same as the Jewish Community Center's: to educate
against intolerance. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "It's a lesson not to dislike someone for the color of their skin or the
slant of their eyes," said Barbara Felder, a volunteer who led the program on
Friday and will again in May. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The Roth Auditorium, which was toured by the principals, a dean, and
teachers, tells the story of the 8 million Jews who were slaughtered during
the Holocaust. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Photos along the walls form a timeline of World War II, displaying scenes
of people imprisioned in barbed wire, bodies on the pavement or in mass
graves. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 School officials said they would invite their students in May. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "You don't see this at all in a textbook," said Darren Testa, a ninth-grade
social studies teacher at Crestwood High School. "They have maybe a half a
paragraph and most of it's not accurate. We spend two or three days on it, but
that's still not enough time." &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
