SURVIVOR SPEAKER SERIES:
Fred Heim
Sunday, April 9 at 3:00 pm
Fred Heim was born in Berlin, Germany in 1926. Under Nazi German rule, he and his family lost their civil rights. It was not until 1939 when he witnessed Kristallnacht that he truly realized the severity of the anti-Jewish laws. He was able to obtain a visa and leave Germany for the United States just before the outbreak of World War II. We are honored to welcome Fred for his first time speaking at LAMOTH.
Fred's talk will be preceded by a docent-led tour at 2:00 pm.
With gratitude to the Joseph Drown Foundation for its generous support of free Holocaust education and school tours, to the Michael & Irene Ross Endowment Fund for its generous support of Voices of History programs, and to the Max H. Gluck Foundation for its generous support of the Share Our Stories Project.
Thank you to our corporate sponsor, Beverly Hills Courier, and our media sponsor, Performances Magazine.
