Fred J. Kader

Fred Jeruzalski Kader (born July 21, 1938, in Antwerp, Belgium) was a Belgian retired pediatric neurologist, Holocaust survivor and educator in the region of Omaha, Nebraska.

During the summer of 1942, Kader's father was sent from Antwerp to labor camps in Northern France, where he was forced to work for Organisation Todt.

On October 30, 1942, the German Sicherheitspolizei und Sicherheitsdienst arrested Kader and several other orphans in the children's home.

He was taken to the Mechelen transit camp to be deported but was rescued by a 10-year-old boy named Marcel Chojnacki who, like Kader, was an orphaned Jewish child.

After having worked at the University of British Columbia, Kader moved to Omaha in 1974, where he became one of the first pediatric neurologists in the region.
