Mazel Tov and Kol Hakavod to community member Dory Goldberg on receiving an honorary degree from Washington High School for her many years of service to South Bend Schools!

Remarks of Dr. Todd Cummings, Superintendent of South Bend Community School Corporation, at Washington High School graduation ceremony on June 10th:
"Over the past three weeks, I’ve looked through the exemplary personnel file of Ms. Dora Goldberg who taught French at Washington High School for 25 years. Some of the comments allude to Madam Goldberg being “...one of the finest teachers in the district and helping students realize their finest potential…” Mixed throughout glowing reviews are multiple onion-skinned typed letters asking to be excused for Jewish Holidays-however, one fact was left out of her file-one that we are here today to honor. While we are here today to celebrate Madam Goldberg for her excellence in teaching and service to the District, Madam Goldberg is a Holocaust survivor. She and her family were part of the Paris Vil’ D’ Hiv (VEL DEEV) Round-Up. Rescued by an aunt and sent to live in a village near Paris hidden by a couple in their home-risking their lives.
Her parents-Eli and Yenta Cybulski-were sent to Auschwitz where they were executed-May their Memories be for Us a Blessing.
Madam Goldberg is a graduate of St. Mary’s College and the University of Notre Dame. She is the last Holocaust survivor in St. Joseph County. Today we honor her with this honorary Washington High School diploma for her service and her standing as a beacon of the power of love over hate."
