Yom HaShoah: Next Gen

In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, adults are invited to join our older Religious School students to hear “2G” (second generation) Holocaust testimony from our own Beth El member Sharon Pohoryles. Sharon is a speaker trained by JCRC’s Maggid program. Sharon’s father, Lou Pohoryles, was born in 1937 in Lwow, Poland (now Lviv, Ukraine). In 1939, when Germany invaded Poland, he was just 2 years old. He spent most of the war – from age 4 or 5 years old until he was 8 years old – pretending he was a Polish Catholic child. By the end of the war, he was hiding “in plain sight” in Germany.
