The War Came to Me
by Eva Broessler Weissman and Gregory Moore
A testament to the many persons throughout Europe who risked their lives to save Jews from extermination, this book tells the story of the compassionate Dutch citizens who helped two young Austrian women avoid deportation to the Nazi death camps. Sisters Eva and Ruth would endure years of separation from their parents and each other before finally being reunited. The daring efforts of these Dutch families serve as a reminder that the best of humanity can be discovered even in the darkest of times.

Admission is free and open to all.

To register, please call or utilize the form to the right.
