In March of 1943 deportations from Greece began. Nearly 80% of its prewar Jewish population would be murdered, primarily in Auschwitz-Birkenau. To mark the 80th anniversary of these deportations, Dr. Michael Berenbaum will discuss the unique experience of Greek Jewish community before and during the Holocaust.
This presentation honors the memory of Holocaust survivor Alegre Tevet and her daughter Matilda Rosenberg who was a dedicated speaker in the MCHE Second Generation Speakers Bureau. The presentation is free and open to the public.
