SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Walter Kase
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission fees will be waived on Sunday\, May 5\, 2019 in honor of Holocaust survivor Walter Kase\, z”l. \nWhen Germany invaded Poland in September 1939\, it soon became clear that Walter’s family’s lives would never be the same again. At the end of 1940\, Walter\, his parents and his sister\, Rysia\, were herded into a Jewish ghetto. One day in 1941\, the ghetto residents were told to gather in the city square. There\, in front of her family\, Rysia was lined up with other young children and shot to death. Twelve-year-old Walter was sent with his father to the labor camp of Pionki\, later to Auschwitz and Sosnowiec\, and finally to Mauthausen and two of its sub-camps. \nWalter and his father were liberated by the 71st Infantry Division of the United States Army on May 5\, 1945. Taken to a hospital to recuperate\, Walter regained his strength\, but his father succumbed a month later. Walter made his way back to Poland\, where he was reunited with his mother. In 1947\, Walter came to the United States\, settling in Kansas City\, Missouri. There\, he finished his schooling\, started a career in sales and was drafted and served proudly during the Korean War. Walter was able to bring his mother to the United States\, where she settled in Washington\, DC. \nWalter moved to Houston\, where he established a successful import business. He was active in Jewish causes\, sitting on the boards of the Anti-Defamation League and Holocaust Museum Houston. The Anti-Defamation League established a Teachers’ Award in Walter’s name\, and he was the first recipient of the St. Augustine Award from St. Thomas University in recognition of his life-changing impact on others.

SUMMARY:Free Admission Day in honor of Stefi Altman
DESCRIPTION:Museum admission will be waived on Wednesday\, May 15\, 2019 in honor of Holocaust survivor Stefi Altman\, z”l. \nStefi Altman was just 13 years old when Germany overran Poland in September 1939. Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutally beat her father and drove the family from their house. They fled to Stefi’s grandfather’s farm\, taking shelter in the barn. \nThe family remained together until 1940\, when Stefi was sent to the labor camp of Jastkov. Later she was sent to Treblinka and Majdanek. Next\, she was sent to the camp of Dorohucza. Although Dorohucza had neither gas chambers nor crematoria of the other camps\, death always hovered nearby. Like Stefi\, many of the inmates were only half alive by the time they got there. At the end of 1943\, Stefi discovered that her sister\, Kayla\, had also been sent to Dorohucza. But relief soon turned to horror when Kayla was brutally murdered. \nStefi managed\, against all odds\, to escape Dorohucza. For the remainder of the war\, she hid in a coffin-like space underneath a barn that belonged to a sympathetic Polish farmer. After she was liberated by the Soviets\, she learned that her entire family had been murdered. \nStefi Altman\, z”l\, passed away in December 2017. \nSupported by the Stefi Altman Endowment Fund.
