The Jewish Genealogical Society
of Connecticut presents West Hartford resident Ivan Backer as he details the
four separate escapes of his father, mother, older brother, and himself from
Czechoslovakia in 1939. Each story typifies how families survived those turbulent
times. Ivan will read his mother’s dramatic description of her own
journey that he recorded through an interview. Ivan escaped on a kindertransport,
which he will describe.
The program is free and open to
all.

This program was originally scheduled for December 2012 but was postponed due to inclement weather.
