IUP’s Holocaust Remembrance Committee will host a survivor of the Holocaust later this month.
As part of Holocaust Remembrance Day, Solange Lebovitz will present her experiences as a child in France as she went into hiding, camps and her brother’s participation in the French Resistance. Born in 1930 in Paris, she survived in Normandy as she was hidden by a Catholic couple, with the rest of her immediate family hiding throughout the country. All eight members of her immediate family survived, and two of her brothers joined the French Resistance to the German occupation.
Also speaking during the presentation on April 18th will be IUP Student and Sierra Leone War survivor Blessing Mansallay and Holocaust Remembrance Committee member Simon Stuchlik. The presentation starts at 5:00 at IUP’s Eberly Auditorium and is open to the public.
