Program Description
Event Details
Discover information on historical people, places, or things.
In partnership with the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, the Library welcomes Evelyn Meyer, a second-generation Holocaust Survivor, to share the story of how her maternal grandmother's family escaped Hitler's Germany. Evelyn will detail the many difficult roads her family traveled to escape persecution and start new lives internationally.
This is a story of survival, but also of gratitude for those whose kindness and generosity enabled that survival.
