Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center Memory Keepers GenerationsForward Story Hour: Speaker Phyllis Shaw

Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center Memory Keepers GenerationsForward Story Hour- Phyllis Shaw To Speak

Please join the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center from the comfort of your own home on February 9 at 7 p.m. to hear Memory Keepers GenerationsForward speaker, Phyllis Shaw, tell her family’s incredible Holocaust story.

Phyllis’s parents were survivors. As a second-generation survivor, she tells the story of her mother, Regina, who as a teenager, first deported to a crowded ghetto near her home in Romania, and then, was deported to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp. At Auschwitz, she miraculously found two of her nine sisters. After Auschwitz, Regina was at another working camp, to Bergen Belsen, to a displaced persons home in Sweden and finally to America. Regina’s experience is one of resilience and gratitude despite of everything that she went through. For information email mjasper@hhrecny.org.
