| These pages will soon be
filled with the story of my two mentors who have had the greatest
impact on my Holocaust research and teaching.
Mrs. Lilli Kopecky, Survivor of Auschwitz/Birkenau; Independent
Scholar, past Secretary General
for the Public Committee of Auschwitz and Other Extermination Camps
Survivors; past Adjunct Professor, Emory University Center For
Research in Social Change; world traveler and educator on her
experiences and the meaning of survivorship, and a dear and cherished
friend.
The picture above, from left to right, Mrs. Polly Carroll, Mrs.
Lilli Kopecky, Dr. Jerry Rosenberg and Father Charles P. Carroll.

Observer at the Nuremberg Trials of the Doctors; Expert on the
Ethical, Moral and Legal Aspects of the Euthanasia Program and Nazism,

Holocaust Conference, April, 26, 1986.
On January 4, 2002, Mrs. Lilli Kopecky, at a ceremony at her home,
was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit by the General Consul for the
German government. This honored decades of efforts to educate and
activate for Holocaust Education and for the rights of survivors and
to make sure that the lessons of the Holocaust as seen through the
eyes of a survivor and independent scholar will not be lost on current
and future generations all over the world. Pictures and additional
material will be presented shortly.
