  • Corresponding Angles: The Story or a Holocaust Survivor’s Son and a Liberator’s Daughter

    Join the Alabama Holocaust Education Center as Gail Cohn, the daughter of liberator Judge Aaron Cohn, and Reuben Sloan, the son of Holocaust survivor Itzel Slodowski, share a fascinating account of how two families learned that they shared a common history. Near the end of the war, Gail's father liberated Reuben's father from Ebensee, a subcamp of the infamous Mauthausen concentration camp. Years later, a chance meeting brought Gail and Reuben together, where they realized they shared a common history, but from different perspectives. On September 18th at 6:30 PM, Gail and Reuben will join the Alabama Holocaust Education Center to share their remarkable story. Keep an eye on our website; more details will be posted soon!
