From 25 Cents to Forbes 400 | Holocaust Survivor’s American Dream | Jewish American Heritage Month

“You want me to describe my life in very few words: it’s a pocketful of miracles.”

May is Jewish American Heritage Month—a time to celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans to culture, history, science, government, and more. This month, we honor the resilience and accomplishments of survivors of the Holocaust who rebuilt their lives and communities in the United States.

David Chase was born in Kielce, Poland, in 1928. In 1939, his family was forced into a ghetto, and four years later, deported to Auschwitz where his mother and sister were killed. He was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where he lost his father, and then to Mauthausen concentration camp, where he was liberated.

David immigrated to Israel and the United States, where he finished high school. He became very successful as a businessman in commercial real estate, banking, construction, and radio and television fields. David played an integral role in developing Hartford and New Haven, CT, in the 1970s and 80s, worked with Pope John Paul II, and co-founded the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, among many other philanthropic endeavors.
