She lost her extended family, parents, and younger brother, Josef, in Auschwitz and Buchenwald. At age 15, Nancy survived in the camps, alongside her sister, Lily, for over a year before liberation. Nancy is survived by two daughters, Elizabeth Hutton and Barbara Epstein, her sons in law David Caplan and Daniel Hutton. She was predeceased by her beloved son, Michael Epstein. She is also survived by five grandchildren: Eli Hutton, Miriam Hutton, Rachel Hutton, Emily Caplan and Michaela Caplan, and her sister, Lily Schmidmayer. Nancy loved her family fiercely and felt immense pride watching her grandchildren succeed in higher education. She made close friends in her life, all of whom she touched with her sense of humor and loyalty. Her loss is felt deeply by all those who loved her, and her memory is a blessing. Despite having a youth marred by darkness, Nancy, with her sister Lily, came to America at age 19 and started anew. Education was of central importance to Nancy. She not only went on to get her GED in a language that was new to her, but she also earned her bachelors’ degree, a masters’ in education, and a masters’ in computer science. She loved traveling, nature, and art. Nancy embodied resilience, independence, and perseverance. The rare times that Nancy spoke of her past, she did so while calling for others to value diversity and to stand against injustice. In her own words, from 2001:

“A second later would have been too late for more thousands of prisoners, including probably too late for me. A second can make a difference. And one person can make a difference. If we want a future, let us keep teaching that differences in culture, religion, national origin do not deprive nations, they enrich them.”

Irving Louis Kofsky PhD, a physicist, of Newton, MA, passed away on May 16, 2019 surrounded by family.  Dr. Kofsky, 94, grew up in Brooklyn, NY. He attended Erasmus Hall High School and later attended Syracuse University, where he was awarded a PhD in Physics. After teaching at Smith College, he worked at various laboratories before co-founding PhotoMetrics, a bi-coastal research & materials-analysis lab, which continues to operate today. During Operation Dominic, a series of 31 nuclear detonations conducted in the Pacific in 1962, Kofsky measured the effects of the blasts from inside an airplane. It was the largest nuclear trial in U.S. history and was also the last atmospheric test conducted in that region. Though the images recorded from that time were spectacular, Kofsky always maintained the episode was a farce, as he told TIME Magazine, where he was profiled in 2008, and was labeled “the oldest man at Burning Man.” Dr. Kofsky was known for his boundless energy, intellectual curiosity and near photographic memory. Fluent in four languages, he was a virtual encyclopedia of Broadway show tunes, and was known to burst into song when a relevant verse presented itself. He traveled extensively and made friendships which he diligently maintained all over the world. His other interests included skiing, single malt scotch, sun-worshipping in Speedos, Premier League Football, and his wife Ann’s cooking. Irving was devoted to his wife and three children, whom he prioritized above everything else. He will be remembered as the head of a loving family. He is survived by his wife Ann Robinson Kofsky, children Lewis Taylor Kofsky (Jani Moon Kofsky) of New York, Douglas Kline Kofsky of New York, Emily Robinson Kofsky (Robert Gott) of California, and sister Joanne Kofsky Blum of Florida. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews Peter Blum, Harriet Felts, Rick Robinson, and Leslie Clapp. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Lasell Village Benevolent Fund, c/o Lasell Village, 120 Seminary Ave., Auburndale, MA 02466 or HIAS, www.hias.org.
