SUMMARY:Holocaust Survivor to Share Her Story in Amelia Island
DESCRIPTION:The Chabad Jewish Center of Amelia Island invites the community to a powerful evening of remembrance and resilience as Holocaust survivor Sora Vigorito shares her remarkable life story at the Atlantic Rec Center Auditorium on Tuesday\, February 10\, 2026. \nThe evening will also include a special musical performance featuring the stirring theme from Schindler’s List\, adding a moving dimension to this meaningful program. \nBorn in October 1941 in Berlin\, Ute (Sora) Seiler Vigorito is believed to be the youngest survivor of Dr. Josef Mengele’s experimental twins program at Auschwitz. In 1943\, she and her twin sister\, Channah\, lived in hiding. The following year\, their mother and older sister were taken by the Nazis\, and soon afterward\, the twins were discovered and deported to Auschwitz. \nAt the concentration camp\, Sora and Channah were imprisoned in the children’s barracks and subjected to Mengele’s inhumane experiments. Her twin sister did not survive. They were among 89 sets of identical twins forced into the medical trials of the man infamously known as the “Angel of Death.” \nSora’s story of survival and courage has been preserved through oral history recordings at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and has also been depicted in an Emmy Award–winning film that she directed. \nAs time passes\, opportunities to hear firsthand testimony from Holocaust survivors are becoming increasingly rare. Events like this serve not only as a way to honor the memory of the millions who perished\, but also to ensure that these stories continue to be remembered and passed on to future generations.
