Dr. Ralph Troll, former biology professor at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois, talks about the day the Gestapo arrested his mother for being Jewish. Troll, a German immigrant, grew up during the Third Reich. In 1938, Troll and his family moved to the German countryside so his mother could evade detection from the German government. She was arrested on Feb. 12, 1945, and sent to Theresienstadt Concentration Camp in the present-day Czech Republic. She was re-united with her family in June of that year. The family immigrated to the United States in 1947. Troll shared his experiences during a talk about the Holocaust at the Rock Island Arsenal Museum April 22. The talk was part of U.S. Army Sustainment Command’s Holocaust Days of Remembrance or Yom HaShoah observance.
