Commemoration days<\/h1>\n

\"Ludwig50 years ago<\/h3>\n

Ludwig W\u00f6rl
\n(1906\u22121967) died on August 27, 1967. A Munich native, he was arrested while
\nhanding out leaflets in May 1934 and taken to Dachau. In his function as nurse at
\nthe inmate infirmary, he was able to save the lives of many prisoners. He
\ncontinued his humanitarian relief efforts after being transferred to Auschwitz
\nconcentration camp in August 1942. After his liberation from Ebensee, a subcamp
\nof Mauthausen concentration camp in May 1945, W\u00f6rl became involved with various
\norganizations for persons who suffered under Nazi persecution. His testimony as
\na witness in the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trial (1961\u20131965) was instrumental in
\nhelping to convict the responsible SS men. His merits were honored by the Yad
\nVashem Memorial in 1963 with the title \u201cRighteous Among the Nations\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Portr\u00e4t25 years ago<\/h3>\n

Georges Charpak
\n(1924-2010), professor of physics and chemistry at the University of Paris,
\nmember of staff of the CERN nuclear research center (Canton of Geneva) and
\nsurvivor of Dachau concentration camp, won the Physics Nobel Prize on October
\n14, 1992. He came from a Jewish family in eastern Poland and received his
\nschooling in Paris. When the Nazis occupied France, he used forged papers to
\njoin the French Resistance. He was arrested, but could conceal his Jewish
\norigins. In Juli 1944 he was put to forced labor at the Landsberg\/Lech subcamp
\nof Dachau concentration camp. He returned to Paris after the liberation in
\nApril 1945, was able to get a degree at the French elite university for
\nengineers, and finally received his doctorate in experimental nuclear physics
\nfrom the Coll\u00e8ge de France. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for inventing and
\ndeveloping particle detectors.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Jurij10 years ago<\/h3>\n

Jurij Piskunov (1926\u22122007)
\ndied in Kiev on September 11, 2007. He came from Zaporizhia in Ukraine where,
\nas a seventeen-year-old railroad worker, he was arrested for sabotage and
\nseverely maltreated. He came to Dachau concentration camp by way of Mauthausen
\nconcentration camp in November 1943. He failed in his attempt to smuggle out of
\nthe camp a German newspaper he had found in some air-raid ruins while working. For
\nthis reason, Piskunov was punished by having to spend several excruciating days
\nin a Stehzelle (a cell so small that he could only stand up) in the detention
\nbunker. His description of these conditions of detention counts as some of the
\nmost impressive testimony on the camp prison. Piskunov returned to Ukraine after
\nhe was freed. He was his country\u2019s representative in the Comit\u00e9 International
\nde Dachau (CID) for the rest of his life, and a regular guest and contemporary
\neyewitness at the Youth Meetings in Dachau..<\/p>\n
