Sheboygan resident, Robert Matzner, had a very important story to tell. Friend, Larry Vogel, helped him to put pen to paper. The result is Prisoner 19053, the true story of Matzner's three years in Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. Matzner, a native of Poland, lost most of his family to the Nazi's Final Solution. He somehow survived the horror and came to the United States and Sheboygan with his family in 1949. Robert and Larry have written a remarkable document, a story full of sadness and hope which will touch all readers. The introduction, written by Robert's son, Murray, is a poignant tribute and a great beginning to Prisoner 19053.
