Experiences of
St. Louis Survivor
Still Color
Her Life Today
ERICA SILVERMAN | JE STAFF
H olocaust survivor Ronnie Breslow, a Jewish woman who fl ed Germany
as a child, is still fi ghting anti-Semitism and educating young
people and the community about her escape from the Nazi regime 80
years later.

Breslow, 88, lives in Elkins Park and lectures students about her experience
and combating prejudice by voting and knowing government representatives.

She makes regular speaking appearances across the region at high schools,
colleges and universities, religious centers and museums, including the
National Museum of American Jewish History.

“I am concerned by ever-increasing anti-Semitism in Europe, in
universities across the U.S. and now in our U.S. legislature,” Breslow said.

“Freedom is our most importance asset as Americans.”
Breslow was one of a few Jewish children in her small town of Kirchheim,
Germany. Before World War II, German society was totally integrated, she
said. Her father, Gustav Reutlinger, could trace his German ancestry to the
15th century.
