Brown Bag Lunch Program: Riva Hirsch: A Holocaust Survivor Speaks

Riva Hirsch was seven years old in 1941 when the Germans occupied her village in Bessarbia. She was arrested and sent to several work camps, including Luchinetz and Tolchin in the Ukraine. From Tolchin she was rescued by partisan troops and cared for by nuns in a convent, hidden in bunkers from 1943-1945 and finally liberated by Russian troops. Join us to hear her amazing story. Wednesday, March 21, noon.

Remembering the Holocaust is produced in cooperation with the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center.
