SUNDAY SURVIVOR SPEAKER SERIES:
Tomas Kovar
Sunday, November 6 at 2:00 pm

Tomas Kovar was eight years old when Nazi Germany forcibly occupied his native Slovakia. In the wake of anti-Semitic laws and policies, Tomas and his family fled to the mountains with a group of partisans. They hid in the small village Ponicka Huta with a non-Jewish family for the remaining six months of the war. After liberation, Tomas lived in Chile. He currently lives in Thousand Oaks and has been actively involved with LAMOTH educational programs.

A docent-led tour will follow the talk.

With gratitude to the Joseph Drown Foundation for its generous support of free Holocaust education and school tours, and to
