Holocaust program Tuesday at Rockwern
Stories of men and women who saved Jewish lives during the Holocaust will be shared at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at Rockwern Academy, 8401 Montgomery Road, Sycamore Township.
The program: "Challenges of the Rescuers and the Rescued," is presented by the Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education. Stanlee Stahl, executive vice president of the New York City-based Jewish Foundation for the Righteous, will speak about the people who risked their lives and the lives of their families by aiding, hiding and saving Jewish lives during the Holocaust.
The event will also recognize Geneva, Ind., resident Anne-Willem Meijer. As an 11-year-old boy in Holland, Meijer delivered ration books for resistance leader Corrie ten Boom to aid Jews in hiding during the Holocaust. The Meijer family also hid Jews inside their own home.
The program is free and open to the public, but reservations are suggested. To make reservations, contact Frances Donohue at 513-487-3055 or
