Teacher: George Rishfeld

Class Description: In this April’s FOI Equip class, George Rishfeld will give his survivor story. George Rishfeld (b. 1939) is a child Holocaust survivor who was born in Warsaw, Poland. He was just six months old when World War II began, forcing his family to flee to Vilna, Lithuania. With George’s safety in mind, his parents decided to give him to Catholic friends who promised to raise George as their own. After being reunited with his parents after the war, George and his family emigrated to the United States in 1949. George has dedicated his life to sharing his story, as he believes Holocaust education is invaluable for preventing further atrocities. #foiequip #holocaustsurvivor #holocaustremembrance #survivorstories #survivorstory #georgerishfeld #testimony
