Biography
Edward Mosberg (January 6, 1926 – September 21, 2022) was a Polish-born Jewish American Holocaust survivor, educator, businessman, and philanthropist. During the Holocaust, he was held by the Nazis from 14 years of age in Kraków Ghetto, Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp, Auschwitz concentration camp, Mauthausen concentration camp, and a slave labor camp in Linz, Austria, that was liberated by the US Army in 1945. Nearly all of his family were murdered in the Holocaust. Mosberg became active in Holocaust remembrance and education, sharing testimony with students and participating in commemorations and survivor testimony initiatives. Mosberg joined delegations visiting former concentration camps through International March of the Living and advocated preserving authentic Holocaust history. In 2019, Mosberg was awarded the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, the highest civilian honor by Polish President Andrzej Duda.
