Inge was born in Kippenheim, Germany two years after Hitler came to power. She was an eyewitness to Kristallnacht. In August 1942, she was deported to Terezin with her parents and beloved doll Marlene. Of the 15,000 children sent there, few survived. A chemist by profession, Inge has spoken in countries around the world. She has a special relationship with Staten Island’s P.S. 22 choir, which has sung two of her poems, including at the U.N. International Holocaust Remembrance program. She is the author of 6 books, including I am a Star: Child of the Holocaust. She was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor and spoken about her experiences throughout the world. During her talk, two of Inge’s poems will be read aloud by students from the Hebrew Academy of Staten Island and Wagner College.
