6:00 pm Surviving the Unthinkable: Helen Shabas's Holocaust Testimony (Hillel Chapel)
Helen Shabas was born in Poland in 1928. After the Nazi invasion, she escaped from the ghetto and was forced to hide in forests, barns, and holes dug in the ground. She was a young teen, often alone, surviving by her wits. Ultimately, she joined a a Jewish partisan group, which helped save many Jews in hiding. Today, Helen is a proud Brown grandparent '92, '95, '11, '13. Join us for powerful eyewitness testimony, an interview with Professor Adam Teller, and a question and answer session. Refreshments will be served.
