What a story, thanks for sharing. I didn't know his parents were killed in the holocaust. He was sent to a psych hospital after sermonizing in Chicagoland. I wonder what he must have sounded like, and whether his soap bottle scripture is a toned down version of his prior fury. Luckily he escaped to LA and started a soap business. The business continues to this day, trying to be as radically moral as its label! I wonder what percentage of companies actually walk this moral walk. Good for them.

I believe you can find recordings of the original Dr. Bronner online. I seem to remember hearing a radio program about him and they played back some of his recording. To my ears he sounded like a fiery young man having to speak through the body of an older man. :)
