In 1944, as a teenager in the Nazi death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, my friend Werner Reich shared his bunk with a magician named, "Levine". By a remarkable coincidence, when "The Great Nivelli" (Levine spelled backwards), who was known as the "Magician of the Holocaust", died in 1972 in New York. Werner recognized his tattoo as being that of the man who taught him magic. This is a companion piece to our IFP/Current TV winning pod now on air, Telling Jokes In Auschwitz.

  • Getreel:

    Your work is continually outstanding, however, the interviewee audio is so low (room mic?) that it's hard to hear him. Can you remaster the audio so we can hear him better?
