Matthew Erlich speaks to a packed room at the Camas Public Library about his mother, Felicia, a Holocaust survivor, on Monday, March 12.

More than 100 people packed into the Camas Library Monday night to hear Matthew Erlich, a speaker for the Seattle-based Holocaust Center for Humanity, tell his mother’s incredible tale of perseverance and survival in the face of Nazi death camps.

“My mother died in 2009 of lung cancer,” Erlich told the crowd at the beginning of his presentation. “The doctors said she had six months to live, but she lived six years. By the end of this discussion, that will be no surprise to any of you.”
