HAVURAH SHIR HADASH Holocaust survivor to give Ashland talk Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Feb. 16, 2015 at 11:11 AM Posted Feb. 16, 2015 at 11:11 AM » Social News Grants Pass Daily Courier Holocaust survivor Irving Roth will discuss his experiences at Havurah Shir Hadash, 185 N. Mountain Ave., at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21. Admission is free. Roth was born in Kosice, Czechoslovakia, on Sept. 2, 1929, and landed in New York Harbor in 1947 after being held in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. Recalling personal testimony on his experiences during World War II and memories of the Nazi death camps, Roth devotes his time and efforts to educating people on the horrors of the Holocaust and the evils of prejudice and anti-Semitism. Roth is the director of the Holocaust Resource Center — Temple Judea of Manhasset and an adjunct professor at the University of Maine. He is a frequent lecturer at colleges and universities in the United States, Canada and Europe. Roth received the Spirit of Anne Frank Outstanding Citizen Award from the Anne Frank Center USA for promoting human rights, social justice and for conceiving, developing and initiating the Adopt a Survivor program, which has been instituted nationally and internationally in public and parochial high schools and colleges. Roth edited and coordinated publishing the book "Adopt a Survivor — An Antidote to Holocaust Amnesia." He and his son, Rabbi Dr. Edward S. Roth, co-authored and published "Bondi's Brother," a book about his experiences before, during and after the Holocaust that has been translated into Hungarian and Hebrew. They also published a "Holocaust Study Guide for Social Studies and Language Arts Teachers," which encompasses a complete curriculum on the Holocaust and is taught in conjunction with "Bondi's Brother." Roth received bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and resides in Nassau County, N.Y.
