From the inhuman to the humane - Alex Hershaft

Dr Alex Hershaft was just 5 years old when the Nazis

invaded his homeland of Poland. He and his family were forced into the

Warsaw Ghetto but he survived and after escaping Nazi persecution and

immigrating to the USA, he worked as an environmental consultant.

In 1972, a routine inventory of a Midwest slaughterhouse changed the course

of his life. He is now the President and founder of Farm Animals Right

Movement (FARM), an international nonprofit working to end the use of

animals for food.
