From Day to Day: The Secret Concentration Camp Diary of Odd Nansen
With Timothy Boyce
Odd Nansen, a Norwegian, was arrested in January 1942 and held captive in various Nazi camps in Norway and Germany. In early 1945 Nansen saved the life of a 10-year-old Jewish boy , while both were prisoners in Sachsenhausen.
Nansen secretly kept a camp diary which was rescued from oblivion by our speaker Timothy Boyce.
Through selected readings, Tim will explain who Nansen was, why he wrote the diary, how he preserved it, and why this diary is as important today as it was when first written.
From Day to Day is historical (the number of diaries written in Concentration camps is minuscule), eloquent, and inspiring as an example of one man’s determination to maintain his humanity in the most inhumane conditions possible.
Timothy Boyce most recently served as the Managing Partner at an international law firm. He holds an M.B.A. from The Wharton School of Finance, and a J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Tim, lives in NC.
