Holocaust Survivor Lecture

Holocaust Survivor, Bronia Brandman, will speak on Tuesday, April 13th at 11:30am-1:30pm via Webex. To register for this Webex event, visit bergen.edu/PJR/events.
Bronia Brandman was born into a family of six children in Jaworzno, Poland. She was just eight years old when World War II broke out. She and her family were confined in ghettos, enslaved in labor camps, deported, and murdered. Ms. Brandman narrowly escaped the gas chambers at Auschwitz by running away from her assigned line upon arrival and joining one of her sisters in another line. Her sister soon developed typhus, and the Nazis sent her to the gas chambers. Her parents and a brother were also deported to Auschwitz, never to be heard from again. Ms. Brandman remained at Auschwitz until January 1945, when she was forced on a death march. Though sick and delirious with fever, Ms. Brandman survived until liberation by the American and Russian armies in May 1945. Today, she is a retired public school teacher, volunteering her time as a member of the Speakers Bureau of the Museum of Jewish Heritage-A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
