HONORING HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR HENRY STERN ON HIS 95TH BIRTHDAY

______

HON. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY

of new york

in the house of representatives

Tuesday, October 11, 2022

Mr. SEAN PATRICK MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Henry Stern, a resident of Cold Spring, New York, for his 95th birthday on October 15, 2022. Henry was born in 1927 and spent his first eleven years growing up in Augsburg, Germany. Facing Nazi persecution of the Jewish people, Henry and his family escaped to England in 1939, just one week before war was officially declared. Henry and his family were aided financially by an uncle living in the United States, where they later immigrated.

Henry is dedicated to spreading awareness about the horrors of the Holocaust and preserving the memories of his family. He participated in a project called Lifelines, directed by the Jewish Museum Augsburg Swabia, which chronicles the experiences of Holocaust survivors and their loved ones. Henry's experiences, and those of his family, formed the subject of the sixth volume of Lifelines. Henry later travelled to Augsburg to educate people about the Holocaust, including through a museum exhibit, a theater performance, and four days of workshops at local high schools.

On May 4, 2014, Henry presented a talk at Marina Gallery in Cold Spring about his experiences during the Holocaust and his work with the Lifelines project to record them for posterity. Henry ended his talk with a poem his brother wrote in memory of their cousins, Margo and Trude, who perished on a transport to Poland during the Holocaust. The talk was organized by the Philipstown Reform Synagogue, of which Henry is a member, and was presented in honor of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, which occurred a few days earlier, from sundown April 27 to sundown April 28.

Madam Speaker, it is an honor to recognize Henry Stern for his selfless contributions to our shared village of Cold Spring, to his hometown community in Augsburg, and to our world. I ask that you join me in thanking him for his important work and wishing him a happy 95th birthday.
