2026 Summer Survivor Speaker Series: Melanie Kuhr Myers

This summer, the Museum is sharing the testimonies of Holocaust survivors, refugees, and hidden children, as well as second-generation survivors. About the Speaker Melanie Kuhr Myers is the daughter of Susanne Levy, z”l, and granddaughter of Ruth Levy, z”l, both Holocaust survivors. Susanne and Ruth were born in Germany in 1928 and 1897, respectively. In 1938, Ruth was able to secure a job in England and eventually secured a spot for Susanne on the Kindertransport to join her there, where they were interned for a short time. In 1947, they immigrated to the United States.  This program took place in person at the Dallas Holocaust and Human Rights Museum on June 3, 2026.
