- Dr. Charles Suchar was the son of Holocaust survivors. The Suchars eventually came to Chicago in the 1950s. Suchar was drawn to studying civil rights due to the similarity between the struggle of African Americans and those of the European Jews. Drafted into the military in 1968, he filed for conscientious objector status, soliciting help from the American Friends or Quakers.
