2012
At our 2012 program hundreds
of community members joined us to hear Holocaust survivors, and local residents,
Bianca Rosenthal and Irving Klein share
their stories of incredible survival during the Holocaust.
Bianca’s story gave an inside perspective to the Romanian Holocaust as she described her childhood survival of the Ghetto, deportations to Transnistria and Siberia, WWII and the Soviet rule.
Irving’s story covered his life of survival after fleeing the invasion of Hungary. At the time a young boy Irving faced many life-changing decisions as he escaped death numerous times, only to endure the harsh beatings and treacherous work as slave laborer in the concentration camps.
If you did not personally get to hear their stories please read/watch/listen to our local coverage:
