We will be marking the 30th anniversary of the Bosnian genocide and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. We will have a short presentation from a Bosnian woman who was a young girl in Bosnia 30 years ago We will hear about the artist, Yehuda Bacon who, at the age of 13, was deported with his family from Ostrava to Theresienstadt and a year later was sent to Auschwitz. He survived and was liberated in May 1945. His art work served as evidence in trials against Nazi criminals (including the Eichmann trial in Jerusalem and the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials) and were used in the litigation against Holocaust denier David Irving, who challenges the existence of gas chambers in Auschwitz. Yehuda is now in his 90s and lives in Jerusalem. His story will be told by his daughter Hanna.
