Featured Guest: Rip Grossman

Years ago, Rip Grossman was with his wife, Holocaust survivor, Clara Grossman, on a trip touring the Beaches of Normandy. As they stood on the cliffs overlooking Omaha Beach, with approximately 20,000 graves of American soldiers, sailors, marines, & airmen behind them, she turned to Rip, Clara who is an survivor of Auschwitz Extermination Camp said, “If it were not for these brave men, I would not be standing here to honor them. From the time I escaped the Nazis, I’ve also felt I survived for a reason and that I should honor my murdered family and these saviors buried behind us by never giving up & by living as positive & productive a life as humanity possible.”

Clara has never deviated from this commitment, and neither has Rip, as he renewed his personal vows not to let her down. Watch the powerful story of a 97 year old, World War II Veteran & Entrepreneur, Rip Grossman, as he shares his thoughts from the greatest generation.
