Cantor Judith Steel is one of the youngest living holocaust survivors.
She was born in Berlin at the beginning of WWII. Her family was Jewish and escaped aboard the ship St Louis in 1939 when she was an infant…only to be turned away by Cuba and the US. The ship was returned to Europe.
Her family disembarked in Belgium only to be detained at Camp Gurs, then moved to Rivesaltes, and finally Auchwitz. During this time her father was able to sneak her out to a French Catholic family, where she lived as a hidden child during the war. She came to live in the US in 1946, sponsored by her Aunt and Uncle.
Cantor Judith Steel is an Interfaith minister and an active speaker for various organizations as well as schools and many places of worship. She feels that she has the responsibility to tell her story of survival for the good of future generations. She is a proud mother of Gary and Alyson Steel, and a grandmother to Adam Daniel Steel, Morgan Labarre Steel, Alexis Rachel Koeppel and Jesse Martin Koeppel.
