Thanks to Margaret Rung, Director, Center for New Deal Studies, at Roosevelt University for the warm introduction, along with the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Center for hosting VOG with students and faculty on October 23.  There were numerous questions from the audience, including a discussion of survivors guilt. I read a passage from my parents book that describes my mother’s feelings about surviving while others perished around her. As I explained, my mother attributed her survival to luck. As always, the discussion was engaging and the message of “never to forget” was instilled upon the audience.
