Edith and Kurt Leuchter: A Story of Love and Resilience

She was born in Bruchsal, Germany. He was born in Vienna, Austria. As hidden children, their paths crossed briefly in a French orphanage. This is just a part of their story, separately and together: surviving the Holocaust, fighting Nazis in the French Resistance, and making a new life in America. This is the true story of Kurt and Edith Leuchter, as told by their daughter Deborah Stueber. Kurt and Edith will attend virtually to answer audience questions.

Deborah Leuchter Stueber has been a volunteer for the past 30 years at the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. In 2021 she was chosen as their Volunteer of the Year. Sharing her parents' Holocaust experience with schools, universities, and various organizations for the last several years has been her passion. She feels strongly that it's the responsibility of her generation and generations to come to carry on the survivors legacy.
