Yom Hashoah Service, sponsored by the Holocaust Remembrance Committee, will be held at TST on Wednesday, April 23rd, at 7pm. Please join us to hear from Holocaust Survivor Erwin Forley. Born in Munkacs, Hungary in 1927, Erwin and his family—consisting of his mother, father, younger brother and older sister—led a happy and peaceful life as owners of a farm and a refinery. In 1944, with the passage of the Hungarian laws that were much like the Nuremberg Laws, their life as Jews changed drastically. In 1944, the family was sent to the Munkacs Ghetto and soon after deported to Auschwitz. Upon arrival in Auschwitz, the family was separated by Dr. Mengele. Erwin’s grandmother and younger brother were sent to the gas chamber. Erwin and his father, separated from Erwin’s mother and sister, were sent to work on a farm where Erwin suffered an injury to his leg. Hear Erwin’s miraculous story of survival, how his leg injury saved his life, and how he was reunited with his mother and sister.
