Memories and Condolences
for William Eisen

I had the privilege, and honor, of sitting with Bill Eisen for about an hour in his Tonawanda home, back in (if memory serves) Spring 1982, to hear about his experiences during WW2.
He had graciously agreed to sit with this (then teenaged) UB student, who as part of a 5 credit hour course on WW2 -- and with some assistance and guidance from the Brooklyn Holocaust Center on Ave J near Ocean Ave (which is no longer in existence) -- was interviewing, and taping for posterity (on cassette) the interviews of, 3 Holocaust survivors, to help make "Never Forget" a reality.
During that brief interview I learned of Mr. Eisen's bravery, luck, skill and perseverance during those extremely dangerous times. I was truly honored to have been with him, and -- although it is many years since his passing -- I send my deepest condolences and respects to his family.
May his memory forever be a blessing. He was a light in the world.

I had the pleasure of working at the Kleinhans Service Center on Hertel Ave. with Mr.Eisen between 1984-1990. He was truly a wonderful human being and I feel honored to have known him. God Bless him and my sympathy to his family.

I'm very sorry to hear of Mr. Eisen's passing. My mother worked with him some time ago and I met him a few times. I will never forget him. I was young, yet old enough to know what the Holocaust was about. And when he showed me the mark they left on his wrist, it left a mark on me forever. I can't imagine what he was witness to, and had to endure. The world just lost a strong person.

Those of us who are privileged to know his offspring know what wonderful people they all are. The world is a little colder without Mr. Eisen in it. Our sincere sympathies go out to all who mourn his passing.
