Remembering Steve Uhlfelder by Daniel Uhlfelder, Steve’s Son

My father carried within him a profound understanding of the critical need to educate the young about the Holocaust. He held a deep-seated belief that the most powerful antidote to repeating such a horrific time of history was through heartfelt education. He hoped to open young eyes to the inhumanity of the Holocaust and to wage a war against the lies and disinformation that surround it. From the tender moments of my childhood, he lovingly instilled in us the invaluable lessons of remembrance, the importance of education, and the courage to stand against injustice.

His unwavering perseverance and boundless compassion didn’t just touch lives; they transformed them. Thousands can attest to the warmth and wisdom he brought into this world, and my heart swells with pride when I think of his legacy as a beacon of Holocaust education. It was more than a cause to him; it was a mission of the heart — one of the most profound commitments he ever made. I am forever grateful
