Carl Lutz: The Forgotten Rescuer
Amy Lutz
As a Swiss diplomat serving in Hungary from 1942 until the end of World War II, Carl Lutz is credited with saving more than 62,000 Jews during the war. Due to his actions, half of the Jewish population of Budapest were not deported to Nazi concentration camps, and survived. Historian and writer Amy Lutz, who worked for a number of years at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, will share Carl Lutz’s powerful story during this year’s Holocaust Lecture.
