Join us in Muller Chapel from 8-9 PM on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022 to hear from Hanna Wechsler.
Hanna was born in a small town in Poland in 1936. Her parents were wealthy, and her early childhood was happy and carefree, until 1939 when Hitler invaded Poland and Hanna and her parents went into hiding in the cellar of a barn. They were cared for by Polish farmers until they were deported to the Krakow ghetto. Using false papers, the family escaped to Hungary, living safely until the Germans occupied Hungary in March 1944.
Hanna along with her mother survived Auschwitz and while back in Krakow they were reunited with Hanna’s father who had been released from Dachau. Hanna has dedicated the last 45 years to educating youth about the horrors of the Holocaust. Her message – in the face of adversity, one can overcome and prevail.
