Oscar Singer was born in Radomysl Wielki, Poland in 1925. As a teen and young adult, Oscar survived imprisonment and forced labor in the Mielec, Wieliczka, Krakau-Plaszow, Theresienstadt, and Auschwitz camps. Following the end of the war, he was held in a displaced persons camp. After receiving his visa to come to the United States in 1951, he eventually settled in Denver, Colorado. He married, had three children, and had a successful career in the restaurant and catering business for many years. While living in Denver, he spoke to many students and other groups, sharing his story of survival. A few years ago, he relocated to Pittsburgh to live with his daughter, Lee Fischbach, who will be joining us to tell their story.

Join the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh as we host a dynamic evening with former neo-Nazi Tony McAleer. We will be screening The Cure For Hate, a film about McAleer’s journey from white power advocate to anti-hate activist. A panel discussion with film director Peter Hutchison and University of Pittsburgh professor Calum Matheson will follow discussing the lure of conspiracy theories, how people succumb to them, and how to advocate for understanding and tolerance.
Please note, The Cure For Hate contains historical footage depicting graphic imagery of the Holocaust, which could be disturbing and/ or triggering for some individuals. Viewer discretion is advised.
