Details: Join us for a delicious potluck followed by an incredible and inspirational talk from author and Holocaust survivor Alter Wiener. Mr. Wiener was born in October of 1926 in Chrzanów, Poland. At a young age he was deported from his home by Nazi officers in the middle of the night and was enslaved for three years in five forced labor and concentration camps. When liberated, Mr. Weiner weighed eighty pounds and was burdened with many health issues. He is the only survivor of his immediate family and lost almost his entire extended family in the Holocaust as well.
