WDSU Rose Rosenkranz Media Story

“Rosie Rosenkranz was born in a Siberian labor camp.
NEW ORLEANS — A Holocaust survivor will share her story during a talk on Tulane University’s campus on Wednesday.

Rosie Rosenkranz is described as a miracle baby, born in a Siberian slave labor camp, according to Professor Dodd Loomis, who has researched her family extensively.

Rosenkranz will speak at 6:30 p.m. inside the Diboll Gallery. Her talk is open to the public, but registration is required.

The conversation kicks off the opening of “”Only Miracles,”” a play telling the story of Rosenkranz’s parents.

Its first showing is Saturday, April 13, inside the Touro Synagogue on St. Charles Avenue. To purchase tickets, click here.

Loomis wrote, produced and directed the play, which he hopes will be an active and immersive experience for attendees.

“”I think when you sit down and read a book, for me … it’s easy to just engage the prefrontal cortex and turn this into an academic experience,”” Loomis said. “”There’s some value there, but we have to push beyond that, and what I’m trying to do is have the audience have an emotional connection.””

He hopes through both the talk with Rosenkranz and the play, people will understand the Holocaust more effectively.

“”When you say six million, I can’t wrap my head around that. It’s a statistic. There’s no emotional piece,”” Loomis said. “”So to be able to tell two people’s, two survivors’ stories, both of which all of their families were killed, in real personal detail, to me, informs the greater whole.”””
