The North Shore Chavurah of Rabbis community-wide Yom HaShoah Commemoration will feature Chris Nicola, cave explorer and author of The Secret of Priest’s Grotto: A Holocaust Survival Story, on Wednesday, April 18 at 7:45 PM at North Suburban Synagogue Beth El. The evening will include memorial prayers, a candle lighting ceremony, and a special presentation.
Chris Nicola spent ten years unearthing one of the most amazing underground survival stories of all time: how 38 Jews survived the Holocaust by living in a massive cave system in the Ukraine for more than 500 days. Copies of his book The Secret of Priest’s Grotto will be for sale.
