From our partners at the Unified Jewish Congregation:
Join us for Holocaust Remembrance with special guest Julie Kohner who will share her mother’s story of surviving the Holocaust along with our Holocaust essay finalist.
“In 1953, my mother was the first non-celebrity featured on a national television program, This Is Your Life, and her story of surviving the Holocaust was a first for the early days of television. I am fortunate to own a copy of this television program that I share with my audiences, along with the experiences of my parents as survivors and myself as second generation. I can’t wait to share their story with you“ – Julie Kohner
Sponsored by UJCBR and the Jewish Federation of Greater Baton Rouge
Copies of Julie’s book, “Hanna & Walter, A Love Story” will be available for purchase.
One of the few Holocaust stories with a happy ending. Hanna and Walter’s story is told in alternating first person chapters creating suspense, with true authenticity and impact. Even in the darkest of times, miracles can happen!
