Escaping Hitler: Kindertransport from Austria to England
(Diversity)
Anita Weisbord was born in Vienna in 1923 as the youngest of three in a loving, Jewish-Austrian household. In 1939, at age 14, she escaped Hitler's Austria as part of the Kindertransport, a program that helped children escape Nazi-occupied areas and brought them into England. Ms. Weisbord will speak about her experiences in Prof. Rachel Gross's Introduction to Jewish History, Culture, and Heritage class. Sponsored by the Malcolm and Diane Rosenberg Program in Judaic Studies in the Department of Religion and Culture and the Chabad Librescu Jewish Student Center. All are welcome to attend.
