Guest speaker: Holocaust survivor Doris Fogel
 |
Doris Warschawski Fogel, the Quad Cities Yom HaShoah (Day of Remembrance of the Holocaust) speaker, will visit Augustana to talk about her life.
Students who have won awards for their work for the Geifman Prize "Responses to the Holocaust" will be presented with their prizes.
(Fogel also will speak at Yom HaShoah April 23 at Temple Emanuel, 1115 Mississippi Ave., Davenport. That event will begin at 7 p.m.)
Fogel was born in 1934 in Berlin, where she was with her family on Kristallnacht, when synagogues and Jewish businesses were destroyed across Germany and Austria.
Unable to get papers to enter the U.S., Fogel and her family fled Germany in 1939 for Japanese-occupied Shanghai , China. It was the only place in the world that required no entry visa or affidavit to enter.
They spent the next eight years in the Hongkew Ghetto, living in internment camps among the starving Chinese citizens in a city without running water or sanitation. After the war, the family was sponsored to come to the U.S. by citizens in Peoria, Ill., where Fogel attended high school and college.
She has spoken about her experience around the country and has been on the Speakers' Bureau of the Jewish Federations of North America. She is currently a speaker at the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Chicago. In 2014 , Fogel was the featured speaker at the Illinois Holocaust Commemoration in Springfield.
Her visit is sponsored by the Center for the Study of Judaism and Jewish Culture at Augustana, the Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities, Temple Beth Israel, Temple Emanuel, Churches United and other religious congregations.
