Description

Louis Lowy (1920–1991), an international social worker and gerontologist, rarely spoke publicly concerning the Holocaust. All through the last months of his life, alternatively, he recorded an oral narrative that explores his activities All through the Holocaust as the formative experiences of his career. Whether taking good care of youth in concentration camps, leading an escape from a death march, or forming the self-government of a Jewish displaced persons center, Lowy used to be guided by principles that might later inform his professional identity as a social worker, including the values of human worth and self-determination, the interdependence of generations, and the will for social participation and lifelong learning.

Drawing on Lowy’s oral narrative and accounts from three other Holocaust survivors who witnessed his work within the Terezín ghetto and the Deggendorf Displaced Persons Center, Gardella offers a wealthy portrait of Lowy’s personal and professional legacy. In chronicling his life, Gardella also uncovers a larger story about Jewish history and the that means of the Holocaust within the development of the social work profession.
