Attend a virtual Webex lecture with Holocaust Survivor, Fran Malkin, on Thursday, November 4th at 11am – 12 pm.
Fran Malkin was born in Sokal, Poland in 1938. In 1939, Russia occupied her town. Under Communist rule, her family’s properties were taken away and strangers occupied their home. In spring 1941, Germany invaded and occupied Sokal. They ordered all Jewish men between the ages of 16-60 to report to the town square. Four hundred Jewish men, including her father, were taken to a brick factory and shot. Fran was only two years old. The family was later forced into the ghetto. In the fall of 1942, the family went into hiding. They were among sixteen people who were hidden for two years in the hayloft of a barn by Francisca Halamajowa.
