RSVP to My Friend Abe: A Holocaust Survivor's Story
On April 27th from 7 pm-8 pm at Willard Elementary School, Mr. Steve Goldberg, a Holocaust Historian who has taught high school social studies for more than two decades, has a law degree from Georgetown Law School, and is a native of Newton, MA, will visit Concord to present his life’s work, My Friend Abe: A Holocaust Survivor's Story.
Abe Piasek's powerful story of survival during the Holocaust saw him taken from his family in Poland at age 13. For nearly 50 years, Abe did not speak about what happened to him. In the last decade of his life, Abe finally did start telling his story to more than 10,000 people across North Carolina. Though it was painful, Abe kept on telling his story because he felt the world had to know what happened to him, and what can happen when hate and dehumanization go unchecked. Abe passed away in January 2020 at the age of 91. Before Abe's passing, he asked Steve to continue telling his story of survival.
Please use this form to RSVP.
