Holocaust survivor shares her story Hungarian woman recalls life in concentration camp to Troy students

BY MEGANN HORSTEAD For the Bugle @BugleNewspapers sweditor@buglenewspapers.com

Holocaust survivor Magda Brown recently visited students at Troy Middle School to share her story of survival.

The presentation was made possible thanks, in part, to Troy Middle School eighth-grade student Etta Sklar, who raised money last year through a shoe drive to enable Brown to come in and talk about her experience.

Brown was a teenager being raised in Hungary when Nazi Germany invaded in March 1944, when World War II had reached its height in Europe. Allied forces did not land in France until June 1944.

Close to half a million Jewish and others were moved from their homes into ghettos, sections of a city allocated for ethnic people.

“Once you left your home, you could never ever get anything back, even if you returned alive,” Brown said.

At the Nazis’ order, Brown’s house became a station for 40 people to be incarcerated.

“You cannot fathom the crowded conditions,” she said. “You have to think of the emotional aspect, here, as well because there are different personalities.”

Brown’s home was later evacuated, and the Nazis marched everyone to a brickyard. There, they had no access to water or toilets.

Brown questioned why this happened and said that’s why she equates the Holocaust to a “premeditated, scientifically-coordinated mass murder.”

“Everything was done with precision,” she said.

A short time later Brown and others were shoved into a boxed car and transported to a concentration camp, where families were separated.

Brown recalled the horrific conditions she endured throughout it all.

Those in the camp went through a selection process. It was then the Nazis took time to determine which people were killed or released, and Brown was

released.

Brown said as a result, she does not have a tattoo on her arm because they needed people to do labor in Germany.

“I had never seen a factory, let alone worked in a factory, but when you are forced to do the work, you just learn it or else,” she said. “It was a very strenuous work.”

There were two shifts: a morning shift and a night shift.

Brown said people will never learn of the true conditions endured in any documentary.

“The factory was built underground,” she said. “The roof was flat. It was solid, and trees were growing out of it.”

Brown said from the outside, she and the others could not be found working inside the factory.

One night, Brown and others made an attempt to flee for a barn, Brown said. A short time later they were under the military’s supervision, and their lives returned to normal.

Brown said what kept her going throughout it all was holding onto the belief that tomorrow will be a better day.

By 1946, Brown was reconnected with some relatives in the United States.

Since then, Brown has called the U.S. her home.

Sklar wanted to thank everyone for helping her to accomplish her goal to bring in a Holocaust survivor to share her story.

Troy S.T.A.R. students raise money for Shorewood Hugs Fourth-grade students in the S.T.A.R. Leadership Club and 3rd and 4th grade students in the ACE program at Troy Cronin El-

ementary School recently donated $602 to the nonprofit charity Shorewood Hugs. The students held a snack sale at the school to raise the money.

S.T.A.R. stands for Service, Teamwork, Achievement and Recognition. This is the club’s first year.

Shorewood Hugs President Jackie O’Hara visited the school to accept the donation and spoke to the students about leadership and about what Shorewood Hugs provides to the community, according to S.T.A.R. Sponsor Josefa Lopez, a Cronin social worker.

S.T.A.R.’s other sponsor is Cronin 4th grade teacher, Emily Semplinski.

Illinois is the heart of the U.S. Interstate system Illinois has the third highest total of Interstate routes and mileage

BY SHANE NICHOLSON OF THE ROCK RIVER TIMES Its neighbor to the east may claim “The Crossroads of America” title, but by nearly any measure, Illinois is the heart of the U.S. Interstate system.

Illinois has the third highest total of Interstate routes and mileage. Only New York and California have more I-designated roadways, with 7- and 25-million more residents, respectively. Only Texas and California routes cover more mileage, though those states are 5- and 3-times larger by territory.

And the importance of the routes — many of which were designed to pass through or near Chicago, with its access to the global economy — further spell out the importance of Illinois as a hub of trans-U.S. travel.

The two longest treks of the Interstate system, I-90 and I-80, pass through Illinois on their coast-to-coast journeys. And two key connections to the Gulf States, I-55 and I-65, reach their nadir in the Chicago area. Add in I-57, I-64, I-70 and I-94 and an Illinois driver can reach almost every population center in the nation by navigating one interchange.

“Illinois is at the heart of the country’s interstate highway system,” the Illinois Department of Transportation boasts. That was not without intent: When the Dwight D. Eisenhower National System of Interstate and Defense Highways was authorized

in 1956, Illinois was the fourth mostpopulous state in the nation (Texas and Florida leaped over Illinois in the rankings during the second-half of the 20th century).

Illinois was a key part of the economic structure of the country: Its endless fields a critical part of the food supply; its inland port a means for the Midwest industrial centers to reach the outside world; its trainyards the center by which the entire U.S. rail system operated around.

It was natural, then, that the original Interstate plan released in 1955 saw key arteries originate and pass through Illinois, including I-55, I-57, I-64, I-70, I-74, I-80, I-90 and I-94. Illinois was cementing its place as the heart of the nation’s roads.

As the Interstate system began to take shape, Illinois’ road budget began its long climb to the present-day $14.1 billion figure. Maintenance costs ballooned from $59.6 million to $128.1 million during the 1950s.

A state commission recommended the formation of IDOT, bringing the transportation system, including the interstates, under a single office in Springfield.

When IDOT formed in 1972, only I-64 remained incomplete from the U.S. government’s original Interstate plan, and I-72, then spanning from Champaign to Springfield, had been added to the state’s growing highway system. Throughout this rapid transition of the Illinois’s highway system, the bane of existence for commuters in and around the Chicago area came into existence: the Illinois Tollway.

As the state struggled to complete modern highways during World War II, the first tollway commission was established, becoming the Illinois State Toll Highway Commission in 1953. The initial three toll roads, completed by 1958 – the Jane Addams, Tri-State and East-West Tollways – all were eventually rolled into the Interstate system as the nationwide spiderweb of superhighways began to take shape. Today, the re-christened Toll Authority has added I-355 and

state Route 390 among the ranks of its administered roads.

By the early 1990s, the majority of the modern Illinois Interstate system was complete. As the USDOT planned supplementary highways in the 1960s and 1970s to fill in gaps between anchor roads of the original 1956 decree, Illinois laid down pavement over its vast farmlands. I-24 was completed in the south of the state, and the state’s portion of I-64 was completed in 1974. State Route 5, the original moniker of the East-West Tollway, saw a re-designation to I-88 in 1987 as Illinois sought to raise the speed limit on the route connecting Chicago to the Quad Cities.

With that, I-39 saw its first segment replace the existing U.S. 51 from U.S. 20 outside Rockford to Rochelle. While IDOT had requested I-39 to stretch from the Wisconsin border to Marion County, the length of the proposed highway was shortened through a number of revisions, with the final route ending at Bloomington. U.S. 51 was upgraded through to Decatur as part of the overhaul.

Since the completion of I-39 in 1992, Illinois has seen only one new Interstate: the 9/10ths of a mile I-41 in Lake County. That roadway came about as a construct of the Wisconsin DOT re-purposing U.S. 41, from the north suburbs of Chicago to Green Bay, into an Interstate of its own. Its brief stint in Illinois sees it paired with I-94 as it crosses the state line.

All told, 24 routes — 13 primary and 11 secondary — compose the modern Illinois Interstate, covering some 2,500 miles. And while Indiana may continue to lay claim to that “crossroads” crown, as Illinois celebrates 200 years — with nearly 1,000 more miles of blue-and-red-signed roadways than its eastern neighbor — its residents should know that it is still the true heart of America’s fascination with the highway.

BILLING Bolingbrook’s Gabby Smith is the 2018 Voyager Media Girls Basketball Player of the Year

BY MARK GREGORY Sports Editor @Hear_The_Beard mark@buglenewspapers.com

When Gabby Smith stepped on the floor for her first season of basketball for the Raiders, she knew her class could be the one to get the Bolingbrook girls basketball program back on track.

As her senior season wound down – she knew they had done just that.

“I wanted to be the best leader I could for my team and help us get as far as we could,” she said.

“I had a really good season and we didn’t make it as far as we wanted to, but I am glad we won the sectional. We have a lot of momentum for next year.”

On the season, Smith averaged 19 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists per game, leading the Raiders to their first sectional title since Chris Smith took over as head coach.

For her efforts, Gabby Smith is the 2018 Voyager Media Player of the Year.

“Bolingbrook is known for girls basketball and we wanted to get it back there,” she said.

Smith was named to the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association Class 3A/4A All State first team.

She will continue her career next season at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.

“It is the perfect fit for me,” she said. “When I visited, I loved the coaches and the school and when I visited there, I loved the team.”

The rest of the first team is:

CIERRA BACHMANN MINOOKA Led the Indians with 14.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game this season. IBCA Class 3A/4A Special Mention.

KACHAE DONALD PLAINFIELD CENTRAL Sophomore guard averaged 14.5 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.7 steals per game for the Wildcats.

self, it’s a good idea to stop and remember that every insurance company is still a business. They must cover all the costs of operation, plus make a profit. Believe me, that takes a lot of money. Statistically speaking, if lots of people cashed in on a policy like this an insurance company would go out of business. We’re talking about only $30 a month to cover $9,000. That alone tells you not many people cash in.

It’s gimmick insurance. On average, you’re losing money when you buy insurance of any kind. Again, on average, over the scope of your lifetime you’d be better off simply saving money and self-insuring against things like this. The only things I recommend buying insurance for are things you can’t afford to cover personally.
