Kurt Wallach was 7 when he and his family fled the Nazis in Magdeburg, Germany, in 1933. What ensued was a three-year journey that led to a new beginning in the United States.
Wallach wants to ensure his experience and those like his are remembered. For their struggle as well as their triumph.
That’s the impetus behind a $20 million gift to Florida Atlantic University its largest gift in school history to create the Kurt and Marilyn Wallach Institute for Holocaust and Jewish Studies housed in FAU’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters.
“We speak for those who cannot speak, and we remember all the victims including our family members who perished needlessly,” Kurt Wallach said. “No one should ever be subjected to such horror. We hope that through the education we can provide that lives will be saved and history will not be repeated.”
