Louis Lowy, an international social worker and gerontologist, rarely spoke publicly about the Holocaust. During the last months of his life, however, he recorded an oral narrative that explores his activities during the Holocaust as the formative experiences of his career. Drawing on this narrative and accounts from Holocaust survivors who witnessed his work, Gardella offers a rich portrait of Lowy's personal and professional legacy.
