The AHEC maintains a living library of all Holocaust Survivors who made their home in Alabama. Their testimonies and artifacts open a window into an increasingly vanished world, and are central to our educational efforts to keep the history and lessons of the Holocaust alive.
Each Survivor’s story is unique in time, place, and experience. We invite you to explore the stories of Alabama Holocaust Survivors, one individual at a time.
A Holocaust Survivor is any person, Jewish or non-Jewish, who was displaced, persecuted, or discriminated against due to the racial, religious, ethnic, social, and political policies of the Nazis and their collaborators between 1933 and 1945. In addition to former inmates of concentration camps, ghettos, and prisons, this definition includes, among others, people who were refugees or were in hiding. (US Holocaust Memorial Museum)
