First of all, thank you for letting me do this addendum, because the interview that we did before was 13 years ago. There's a lot that's taken place that I'd like to add, as a result of the years that have passed. I appreciate this opportunity. I think that the catalyst for what . . . shaped his life on a really concrete basis was the liberation of the concentration camp of Ebensee in May the 5th of 1945, when he was with General Patton's Third Army. He was in the Third Cavalry, the Third Armored Division, and the actual liberation of that camp and seeing those prisoners, half starved, dead, eye's staring blankly up at the sky. The odor of feces and urine everywhere forever changed him. When he returned back to his hometown of Columbus, Georgia, my father, Aaron Cohn, decided that he was going to make a difference and live a purposeful life, which he did. He did that in so many ways by speaking on brotherhood to churches. There were no mosques in Columbus, at the time there were not, there may be today. Speaking to anyone who would listen about standing up to hatred and bigotry. He greatly influenced my life so that when he was the chief voter registrar of Muscogee County, which is Columbus, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, 1960 to 1964, and he set up those tents in downtown Columbus, which I talked about on that first interview. When I had the opportunity to become a high school history teacher. I became a troubleshooter for Columbus High School and Hardaway High School and helped with the integration process. We integrated the high schools in Columbus in 1965, 1966, at Columbus High School in 1966, 1967 there. As a result of his influence, I was a troubleshooter for that integration. Then when I had the opportunity to choreograph the Symphony Fashion Show in Columbus, it was held at the country club, which had a color line and a religious line. I took the opportunity to move it away from there. I also integrated the Columbus Symphony Fashion Shows. His role model of respect and fair play and having a moral code for so many things influenced what I wanted to do with my life. Hopefully, it has influenced my children as well. I do believe that it has.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/137690/file/254862#t=62.0,265.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/137690/file/254862/transcript/72113/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"BERMAN: Can I ask a quick question, interject?

They were asked to belong. They did ask my grandfather to belong. He told them if his money wasn't good enough then, it wasn't good enough now. Nobody in my family ever joined the country club. Then there became other clubs in Columbus. The synagogue had their club. The temple had their club. Today there's a Green Island Country Club where Jewish people belong, African American people belong. You won't find it to be the same in Columbus, Georgia. I think my hometown has done a very good job as the years have moved forward. I still think we have a lot of work to do with interfaith. Again, because of watching my dad's role, he was the superintendent of the Sunday School there, so I taught Sunday school for 15 years. In Atlanta [Georgia], I do a lot of interfaith work. When I see again from those same observations of my dad's life . . . I went to Georgia State School of Law on negotiation and conflict resolution, and I was able to do conflict resolution and mediation in the work force. I got an appointment to the Georgia Commission on Human Relations, and we took different issues that came before them to the executive branch. Zell Miller created that. His life and the things that he did had a great impact on me, and I think it did on my sons as well. If you look at my son, Howie Rosenberg, who's the executive director of GiGi's Playhouse, which takes cares of Down syndrome children and their families. He's taking care of children. He was the recreation and wellness director of the JCC [Jewish Community Center] before that for 20 years, all about children. His son, Aaron Rosenberg, who's named for my dad. He works with developmentally disabled and coaches basketball teams and was at the Weinstein Center every summer as a counselor. My deceased son, David's son, Evan works at the food bank sometimes. I think that his life and the way he lived his life . . . He became the judge of the juvenile court because of a million and a half Jewish children that never had a chance that were murdered during the Holocaust.

I ended up being a corporate trainer, doing workshops and interpersonal skills for Blue Cross, and then I had my own company called LeaderShape for a long time. What I like to do on the side, I like to facilitate information if it's helpful. But one of the things that I like that I did was I used to do anti-bias training for the Anti-Defamation League. I like the interfaith work that I do with Muslim, Christians, and Jews, because part of my father's belief was that as a Jewish person, we cannot insulate ourselves to form relationships with the larger community and be part of a larger community. At the same time, knowing who you are is a very important piece in improving relationships in general and probably helping with antisemitism. When you know somebody that helps to make people human, make them real. Those are some of the things that I've done. I don't know that I can remember everything that I've done. Today, I'm happy to be a speaker as a liberator’s daughter. I tell that story and I try to tell it for the Breman when asked, for the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, any place that I get that opportunity and talk about the lessons of the Holocaust, because if we don't remember history, we know that the adage that we're doomed to repeat it. We can't be bystanders, and we know that the other adage, all that it takes for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.  I'm hoping that my children and my grandchildren don't do nothing. I try to do something to make a difference, because that's the way I was raised.

That is, we have an obligation to repair the world, to do deeds of love and kindness, and to have charity. That doesn't have to mean monetary charity. That means how we help other people and how we participate in the world at large and how we connect with other people. I think he would be disgusted.

But when I married Harvey, I also got a lovely stepdaughter, Melissa Danits Baldwin who's married to a guy named Shawn who brought into the family two children, Audrilyn and Grant. With my first spouse, Irvin Rosenberg, Jr., I had three sons. Howie Rosenberg, as I said, is executive director of GiGi's Playhouse, and even as a kid, he worked at the YMCA in Columbus. Children have been a big part, in taking care of them and doing well by them has been a big part of his life. He married a wonderful girl named Kim Rich. My boys, by the way, have excellent taste in women. I have been blessed with the most wonderful daughters-in-law. For people who did not have daughters, it is a key to happiness. They are wonderful women. Kim Rich is Howie's [wife], and she brought into the marriage a great kid named Jonah Medoff and Howie has a son, Aaron Rosenberg. These boys have good souls, as does my second son, David Rosenberg, who married Sherry Berkowitz, who has been just a phenomenal family member as well. David, as you well know, died within 24 hours. I'll get through this. [memoirist tears up] David was 47 and he died of sepsis within 24 hours on February 14, 2018, and he was born on March 15, 1970. But when he married Sheri, she had a great son named Noah, who's a good kid. He's the oldest. He's 27. David's child, his biological child, they're both his children, but his biological child is 20 now. That's the baby. I'm proud of their values. My youngest son, Eliot Rosenberg, who lives in San Diego [California], too far away, followed in my footsteps in terms of his profession. David was my only son who liked business. The other two boys are bleeding heart liberals in every way you can imagine. They give back. They all give back. I'm so proud of the people that they are and the women that they chose, which was really great for me. I got upset because of David, and I was going to tell you about Eliot. Eliot is an organizational development and learning trainer for a big company in San Diego, and Eliot did anti-bias training. He worked with the military to help them transition from military life to civilian life. He loved . . . He's a life coach. He likes facilitating information. The two sons that I still have that walk the face of the earth give back, and they're great role models for their children and their nephews, etc. I think the one thing I want to say about my family is as a parent, I want them to know that I did the best that I could.

Let people be who they are so long as they don't infringe or hurt another person. For the way I was raised, Judaism was supposed to be a way of life. It was about helping the less fortunate. It was about protecting people, and it was also about taking care of this country because of the freedoms that it afforded . . . us as Jews and people who weren't majority white Christians.

In Nazi Germany between 1933 and 1945, concentration camps (Konzentrationslager; briefly “KL” or “KZ”) were an integral feature of the regime. The Nazis differentiated between concentration camps, which were used to contain slave laborers and prisoners of the Nazi state, and extermination camps, whose primary purpose was the systematic killing of prisoners. Shortly after coming to power in 1933, the Nazis began to set up a series of concentration camps across Germany. Those were mostly local initiatives: facilities that the SA, SS, and police established on an ad hoc basis, where they would detain and abuse real and imagined enemies of the regime. By 1934, there were over 100 of these early camps in operation. When the Nazi regime came to power, they systematically persecuted both Jewish and non-Jewish Germans perceived to be opponents of the regime. Political opponents (Communists, Social Democrats, liberals) were some of the first victims housed in “temporary” detention centers like Lichtenburg. Jews, homosexuals, Freemasons, Jehovah's Witnesses, clergy who opposed the Nazis, and any others whose behavior—real or perceived—could be interpreted as being in opposition to Nazi political and racial ideologies were also persecuted and incarcerated. The Nazi regime refused to tolerate criticism, dissent, or nonconformity from the German people. Non-Jewish German political activists were treated harshly but other political opponents remained potentially valuable members of the German race. The goal behind their internment in and subsequent release from concentration camps was often a kind of reeducation that would see them fall into line with the regime’s political and racial ideologies. Between 1933 and 1939, tens of thousands of Germans were sentenced by the criminal courts. If authorities were confident of a conviction in court, the prisoner was turned over to the justice system for trial. If the outcome of criminal proceedings were unsatisfactory, the acquitted citizen or the citizen who was sentenced to a suspended sentence would still be taken into “protective detention” and incarcerated in a concentration camp. The first concentration camps were established in 1933. Various authorities set up the makeshift “camps” in empty warehouses, factories, and other locations. Camps were established in Oranienburg, north of Berlin; Esterwegen, near Hamburg; Dachau, northwest of Munich; and Lichtenburg, in Saxony. By the end of July 1933, almost 27,000 people were housed in these camps. Most of the prisoners were political opponents of the Nazi regime. By the end of 1934, most of these early camps were disbanded and replaced by a centrally organized concentration camp system under the exclusive jurisdiction of the SS.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/137690/file/254862#t=62.0,265.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/137690/file/254862/annotation_set/1657/annotation/56","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eEbensee was a sub-camp of Mauthausen. The prisoners there worked in the armaments industry. The camp was in a dense forest and close to a rocky formation where tunnels were dug to protect the factories from Allied air raids. It was second only in size to Dora-Mittelbau with 12 factories and 1,404 feet of tunnels. The main purpose of Ebensee was to provide slave labor for the construction of enormous underground tunnels, which were to be used for the development of rockets. The tunnels were never used for rocket production, however. As higher priority was assigned to other kinds of military production, the tunnels that had already been completed were assigned new tasks. One series of tunnels (Plant A) was instead used for refining petroleum. The other series of completed tunnels (Plant B) were used for manufacturing motor parts for tanks and trucks. The first prisoners came from Mauthausen in November 1943 and started digging the tunnels. They worked 12 hours per day in all weathers. More transports of prisoners arrived until 1945 when the number of prisoners peaked at 18,500 in the last desperate days of the war; although overall about 27,000 prisoners passed through. About 8,200 prisoners died there. Living conditions were severe, and the work was exhausting and dangerous. The death rate soared. Those who fell ill or who died were sent back to Mauthausen, until Ebensee got its own crematoria. The last roll call took place on May 5, 1945. The commandant Anton Ganz ordered the prisoners into the tunnels where it was rumored that explosives had been set up to seal them in. The prisoners refused to leave roll call. That night about 600 guards fled the camp and the next day the Americans arrived. Several former guards and Ganz were tried and convicted after the war. \u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/137690/file/254862#t=62.0,265.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/137690/file/254862/annotation_set/1657/annotation/57","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eGeneral George Smith Patton, Jr. (1885-1945) was a United States Army general, best known for his command of the Seventh United States Army, and later the Third United States Army in Europe during World War II.
