May 7 at 7:00 pm. Peoria Riverfront Museum. 222 SW Washington, Peoria, IL
Guest speaker: Holocaust Survivor Ida Paluch Kersz
Ida was born in Poland in May 1938, months before Germany invaded Poland. In the summer of 1942, with deportation imminent, her family tragically came apart, but Ida was given a new life, her Jewish identity known only to her new parents, a young Polish Christian couple anxious to start a family. Ida will speak about her life, and finding her twin brother years after the war.
Please bring your children (ages 10+), they will be the last generation to hear survivor’s stories first hand.
