It was a packed house as Cypress College welcomed nearly 600 guests to the Campus Theater to remember the lives lost during the Holocaust, honor those who survived and the lives they've lived, and thank the liberators and righteous gentiles who risked their lives and livelihoods to aid the Jewish people.
Seven survivors — Betty Cohen, Jacob Eisenbach, Lou Fogelman, Piri Katz, Sarah Schweitz, Gerda Seifer, and Dora Zipper — and WWII veteran William Kott attended both the pre-event signing and evening ceremony. Cohen and Fogelman shared their stories during an intimate on-stage interview facilitated by retired Cypress College Photography Professor Cliff Lester.
