LPL'S WEB SITE FOCUS: THE LAKEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY FOUNDATION PRESENTS:
An Afternoon with Eva Broessler Weissman

Author Eva Broessler Weissman, a survivor of the Holocaust and a courier in the Dutch Resistance, moved to the United States after World War II and devoted her life to working with nonprofit organizations. Now living in Lakewood, this former president of the Library Foundation, asks you to join her for an afternoon of conversation and sharing. Books will be available for sale and signing at the event. Additional support for this event provided by the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage.

The War Came to Me by Eva Broessler Weissman and Gregory Moore
A testament to the many persons throughout Europe who risked their lives to save Jews from extermination, this book tells the story of the compassionate Dutch citizens who helped two young Austrian women avoid deportation to the Nazi death camps. Sisters Eva and Ruth would endure years of separation from their parents and each other before finally being reunited. The daring efforts of these Dutch families serve as a reminder that the best of humanity can be discovered even in the darkest of times.

Admission is free to all. Donations to the Foundation will be accepted at the event or online. Please call (216) 226-8275, ext. 102 or visit lakewoodpublic.com/foundation to register.
