Louis Lowy (1920-1991), an international social worker and
gerontologist, rarely spoke publicly about the Holocaust. During
the last months of his life, however, he recorded an oral narrative
that explores his activities during the Holocaust as the formative
experiences of his career. Whether caring for youth in
concentration camps, leading an escape from a death march, or
forming the self-government of a Jewish displaced persons center,
Lowy was guided by principles that would later inform his
professional identity as a social worker, including the values of
human worth and self-determination, the interdependence of
generations, and the need for social participation and lifelong
learning. Drawing on Lowy's oral narrative and accounts from three
other Holocaust survivors who witnessed his work in the Terezin
ghetto and the Deggendorf Displaced Persons Center, Gardella offers
a rich portrait of Lowy's personal and professional legacy. In
chronicling his life, Gardella also uncovers a larger story about
Jewish history and the meaning of the Holocaust in the development
of the social work profession.
