Lou Ippolito hosts speaker Joe Engel
Come hear Holocaust survivor Joe Engel speak about his life and lessons he learned. In 1939,
when the Germans invaded Poland, Joe Engel experienced the misery of a ghetto,
concentration camps, and the death march of Auschwitz before he finally escaped
from a cattle train in 1945. The only surviving members of his immediate family
were two brothers and a sister.
Today, Joe
lives in Charleston, South Carolina. He is extremely active in the community
and speaks regularly to classrooms and schools about his experiences. A 1997 oral
history interview with Joe Engel is available from the Lowcountry DigitalLibrary.
The video documentary For Every Person There Is a Name, featuring three
Charleston-area Holocaust survivors, including Joe, is also available. For more information, contact marylou.ippolito@tridenttech.edu
