Holocaust Survivor Eva Weyl Shares Her Story at UE
On September 23, 2024, Holocaust survivor Eva Weyl visited the University of Europe for Applied Sciences (UE) in Iserlohn to share her moving life story with students and local schoolchildren. Weyl, who survived the transit camp Westerbork in the Netherlands, a gateway to death, from which 107,000 people were deported to extermination camps, and only 5,000 survived, has for many years used every opportunity to educate young people about the horrors of the Holocaust and to raise awareness of the atrocities committed by the Nazi regime.
With powerful words, Weyl encouraged the audience to take on the responsibility of becoming “second witnesses” and to carry the memories of this dark period forward. It was a great honor for UE to welcome Ms. Weyl, and her message will resonate for a long time.
