Holocaust survivor to speak on Nov. 6

Holocaust survivor and human rights activist Inge Auerbacher, who spent three years imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp during World War II, will speak in a free engagement at 7 p.m. on Nov. 6 at the El Dorado Conference Center, part of the South Arkansas Community College Lecture Series.
Auerbacher and her parents were among the 1 percent who survived their ordeal in the camp in Czechoslovakia, where they were exiled after being sent from their native Germany. They were rescued by the Russian army on May 8, 1945. A year later they immigrated to New York; Auerbacher later became a U.S. citizen and ultimately, a chemist.
She has been awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, the Louis E. Yavner Citizen Award and a Long Island University honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters, as well as two Medals of Merit and a Federal Cross of Merit from institutions in Germany.
Auerbacher also has penned six books about various aspects of her life and career, which have been translated into nine languages.
This appearance will be followed by a question-and-answer session and a book signing. For more information call (870) 864-7156.
