In 1986, while traveling in the United States, he happened to see a swastika and the sight of it triggered a nervous breakdown. After that, he began to speak about his experiences at the hand of Nazis, giving talks to young people and adults, at school and universities. Mannheimer has won many honors and awards for his work.
