March 10th Holocaust Survivors to Speak ... Living History

Lou Dunst and Gussie Zaks are members of San Diego's New Life Club for Holocaust Survivors.

Lou Dunst will discuss his experiences as a survivor of the ghetto at Mateszalka and the Auschwitz, Mauthausen, and Ebensee concentration camps. Dunst arrived in San Diego in 1951, where he has been a successful merchant and real estate investor. He has been active in the San Diego community, sharing his story with various schools and community groups.

Gussie Zaks, a survivor of the Bergen-Belsen, Flossenburg, Blechhammer, Saybusch, and Neusalz concentration camps, will relay her personal story. Gussie travels throughout the San Diego community speaking to students, synagogues, and other community groups.

HOMEWORK: Please spend time thinking back over the personal stories we read last semester. The guests want to tell you their stories and want you to ask questions. Think of Five QUESTIONS you wish to have answered about their experience in the Holocaust and/or their life before or after the Holocaust.
