A traumatic experience that marked Peter's life before the Holocaust came at age eight when he was taken to the offices of the slaughterhouse in Budapest, Hungary, on a business trip with Tibor Fischl, his father. Peter heard the screams of the animals being slaughtered, and he wandered through the open door, straight to the slaughterhouse area, and stood on the fence watching the carnage as several hundred animals were killed.

The young child stood in horror and disbelief as butchers slopped around in the animals' blood, going from one to another in brief minutes.
