During his youth in Nazi Germany, international social worker and educator Louis Lowy (1920-1991) was held in the Terezin ghetto, where he illegally taught Jewish children and served as a youth leader. After the war, Lowy organized Jewish self-government at the Deggendorf Displaced Persons Center. Toward the end of his life, Lowy recorded 16 hours of testimony during nine interview sessions with his friend and colleague Leonard Bloksberg, describing his activities during the Holocaust era and the experiences that formed his later professional identity as a social worker. This book offers a narrative of Lowy's Holocaust memories within a larger historical framework, interweaving Lowy's oral testimony with the voices of three other Holocaust survivors who were in their teens when they were taught and mentored by Lowy. The book also draws on Lowy's books, lectures, personal papers, and correspondence. Author Gardella (social work, Saint Joseph College) attempts to let Lowy and the eyewitnesses speak for themselves with as little editorial interference as possible, but does provide historical background. An afterword discusses the Holocaust's lessons on social work with refugees and displaced persons. Historical b&w photos and maps are included.
