Day of Remembrance 2018

The U.S. Army Combined Arms Center welcomed guest speaker Evy Tilzer, daughter of Isaac and June Feinsilver, at the Day of Remembrance event April 20 at Grant Auditorium on Fort Leavenworth. Tilzer shared the experiences of her mother and father, who were deported to several concentration camps – among them, Blizyn, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen – during World War II. After being reunited, the couple lived in Bergen-Belsen, which had been transformed into a displaced persons camp. In 1949, they came to the United States, arriving in Boston and then traveling on to Kansas City.
