Andor Stern, recognized as the only Brazilian-born Holocaust survivor, celebrated his bar mitzvah on Nov. 11, the 81st anniversary of Kristallnacht, in his native Sao Paulo, in its oldest synagogue, Kehilat Israel. Stern is 91. His family was in Hungary when antisemitic acts began against Jews. In April 1944, the Sterns were sent to Auschwitz, where his mother and grandparents were killed in the gas chambers. He returned to Brazil in 1948.
