Bernard Suskind(Portrait by Gunther Spoonhauser)

Holocaust survivor Bernard Suskind, 97, of Atlantic Beach, Long Island, died on Nov. 26, 2018, at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre.

Among his survivors he leaves a daughter, Linda Suskind Kosmer, in Fly Creek.

He is predeceased by his wife, Charlotte.

Born in Fuerstenau, Germany, Bernard was arrested on Kristallnacht, Nov. 9-10, 1938, and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp along with his father. They were fortunate to be freed after a month.

Due to the efforts of the Swedish government, he went to Sweden, where he spent a year working before he continued to the U.S. and enlisted in the Army. He then fought as a GI on the German front.
