FVJN Brings Holocaust Speaker to Geneva

Sarah Nussbacher, a survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp, was more than 70 years old before she finally talked about her experiences during the Holocaust.

Now you can hear her story, shared by Nussbacher's daughter, Ericka Yeger, during a compelling program sponsored by Fox Valley Jewish Neighbors.

The programs will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, May 19, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva sanctuary, 102 S. Second St. in Geneva.

Sarah Nussbacher was born in 1923 in Transylvania/Hungary, and died in 2007 in Israel. In 1943, she and her entire family were taken to Auschwitz. Nussbacher was more than 70 years old when she was finally ready to talk about her memories.

Nussbacher was deported to Auschwitz. At the May 19 program, you'll learn how she survived and why it all happened. Yeger talks about her mother's life before, during and after the Holocaust, providing a better understanding of the Holocaust, extending to how WWII started, how Hitler came to power, and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.

The program is open to all, and free of charge, though donations are always welcome. Please RSVP to: RachelY@fvjn.org
