Obituary: Sophie Degan died early in the morning of 1st, 2017. She is mourned by her family and by many friends. Sophie was ninety years old, and had an extraordinary life. Born in Warsaw on 12, 1926, daughter of Ruta and Boleslaw Muszkatblat, she also had a younger brother Stefan. As a girl, she loved poetry and language, and she spoke many languages with zest. When the Germans occupied Poland, she and her family went to the Warsaw ghetto, where the rest of her family members died, were killed, or were sent to the camps where they perished. At the age of fifteen, Sophie herself entered the camps. She was in fourteen camps, including Majdanek, Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen. She intended to write a memoir with a title that included the number she had in the camps, it was to be called Survivor A-13905. At the end of the war, Sophie was liberated to Sweden, and eventually extended family in England found her through the Red Cross. She lived in England, then in Israel, where she was a sergeant in the army, and, eventually, came to the United States. She spent many years in New York, where she worked for the UNESCO Publications , the Conference Group of US National Organizations on the United Nations, and the National Council of Churches, Dept. of International Affairs. She also finished a course of study at New York University, and studied painting. In New York, she lived with her greatest friend, Virginia Ginny Saurwein. Later, she moved to Washington DC where she worked for many years as the Executive Director of the United Nations Association, Capital Area Division, and was honored at their annual Human Rights Day Luncheon in 1974. She served on the U.S. Committee for International Womens Year (1975), on the advisory committee for the D.C. Bicentennial City Celebration, and for two years on Mayor Barrys UN Day Committee. her years at the United Nations Association, Sophie ran her own business, Flag World International, Inc., selling flags nationally and internationally for seventeen years. She retired to Ann Arbor in 2006, and lived many good years at Lurie Terrace, where she had dear friends, before she moved to her last residence at Story Point. She died peacefully at Story Point, surrounded by the mementos and photographs of rich years. Sophie had a gift for friendship, and loved and was loved by many people. Although all her immediate family died in World War II, she was a cherished member of a larger extended family in the United States. For the last eleven years she was cared for by her cousins Hilary Cohen, and the late Michael Cohen. She is also survived by Amy Cohen, Laura Helton, Hazel Cohen, and Zinnia Cohen; by Rachel Cohen, Matthew Boyle, her namesake Sylvia Sophie Boyle, and Tobias Boyle; by Stephanie and Mark Prieto, Daniel Arnold, Ashley Laird, and Sage Laird; by Patricia Kelvin, Taylor Leonard, Melissa Leonard, and Avi Leonard; by Alexander and Bozena Massey; and by Iwona Zankowska and Ben Dyczkowski. In her last years, she was happy to be great-grandma to Hazel, Zinnia, Sylvia, Tobias, Sage, and Avi. Sophie loved animals and had a special relationship with them, especially with cats, and dolphins. Swimming with dolphins in Florida was a highlight of her late years, and she was always surrounded by cats, cat decorations, and sayings about cats. She supported the United Nations, the Humane Society, the World Wildlife Federation, American Veterans, and organizations that helped refugees. Some years ago, when a relative of hers died, Sophie sent a card of sympathy with a quotation from Henry David Thoreau: Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest, lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up.
