Dr. William Gingold will share his unforgettable experience of surviving the Holocaust as a child, and how his family rebuilt after. Registration is required.
William (Baruch) Gingold was born September 20, 1939, one day before the hospital, (in which he was born in Warsaw, Poland), was bombed and destroyed by Nazi, Germany.
The Gingolds (immediate family) were incarcerated in the Warsaw Ghetto until eventually escaping to the Russian border in January of 1942.
From the Warsaw Ghetto, to the Siberian work camps, to Ellis Island, this won’t be a story you will forget.
His family story is also documented in the book Tunnel, Smuggle, Collect- A Holocaust Boy’s Story by Bill’s nephew, Jeffrey Gingold, and will be available to purchase during the event.
