Edward Mosberg (January 6, 1926 – September 21, 2022) was a Polish-born American Holocaust survivor, educator, and philanthropist.

[7] Mosberg witnessed a great number of atrocities committed by SS camp commandant Amon Göth, who was later tried, convicted, and hanged as a war criminal.

[7] In Mauthausen, prisoners were forced to work in a quarry, pulling boulders as heavy as 110 pounds up 186 steps from morning until night, whipped by Nazi guards.

[8] Cecile (nicknamed Cesia; née Storch) Mosberg, was born in Kraków and had survived Auschwitz.

[15] After liberation, Mosberg returned to Poland for a short amount of time, but encountered strong antisemitism and he and Cecile then moved to Belgium.

[14] In 2009, Mosberg was one of half a dozen people who met with Pope Benedict XVI at the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Jerusalem, Israel.

"[21] On December 20, 2018, the nine-member Jersey City Council voted unanimously to adopt an ordinance that the monument remain where it stands in Exchange Place "in perpetuity".

[22] In June 2019, Polish President Andrzej Duda honored Mosberg with the Commander's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland.

[23] It was given to Mosberg in recognition of his having developed Polish-Jewish dialogue, and his having promoted knowledge about the role of Polish people in saving Jews during the Holocaust.

Second, I died already 70 years ago when the Germans murdered my whole family..."[18] Presenting Mosberg with the Ner Tamid Award for his global philanthropic work in February 2020, Consul General of Poland in New York City Adrian Kubicki said that the Polish and Jewish communities "have shared some beautiful moments and we also share some of the most painful memories," and that Mosberg was "an ambassador of truth" who has "done so much good around the world" in ensuring another tragedy like the Holocaust "never again happens to the Jewish nation, the Polish nation or any other nation.

"[13] In July 2020, American football player DeSean Jackson, who had posted social media messages—which he later apologized for—citing an anti-semitic quote that he thought was a quote from Hitler, accepted an invitation from the then-94-year-old Mosberg to join him on a visit to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.

[5][19] Polish President Andrzej Duda and his wife attended Mosberg's funeral, and Duda announced that he was awarding Mosberg the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland, the highest Polish award in its class.

[26] It was awarded in recognition of Mosberg's achievements in advancing Polish-Jewish dialogue and developing cooperation between nations, and for preserving the memory of and communicating what happened in the Holocaust.
