Holocaust Survivor To Speak In Hatfield

HATFIELD – Through a generous grant from the North Penn Educational Foundation, the Walton Farm Elementary Home & School Association will welcome Ilse Lindemeyer, a Holocaust survivor and author, to share her incredible story of heartache and hope in Hatfield, the North Penn school district has announced.

The event will take place on Monday, May 16th at 6:30 p.m. at Pennfield Middle School in the auditorium. The program was originally scheduled for April but was postponed.

Isle Lindemeyer will give a presentation alongside a representative from the Holocaust Museum in Philadelphia which recants her experiences as a Jewish woman during World War II. Her powerful story showcases not only the horrors, but also the love and humanity of others in a way that will make you laugh, cry, and feel redemption of the human spirit.

The district asks that parents consider the age of their child and their ability to process the content. It is suggested that those in attendance be approximately 12 years of age and over, and that the Holocaust is discussed with children attending prior to this event.

Isle Lindemeyer’s book, I Am a Survivor, will be on sale at the event and a free will offering will be held with proceeds going to The Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center of Philadelphia.
