80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising: An Eyewitness Account with Alex Groth, Survivor and Scholar
Monday | April 17 | 5:00 PM ET
On April 17, the day before Holocaust Remembrance Day, we also mark the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, one of the largest forms of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust.
Alex Groth was a nine-year-old boy living in the Warsaw Ghetto with his mother when the uprising began against the Nazi deportation to the death camps. Remarkably, they escaped the atrocities and were hidden in Poland during the remainder of the war. They left for the US, where Alex built a distinguished career as a political scientist — he is an Emeritus Professor at the University of California, Davis — and author of many books, including Holocaust Voices, a collection of interviews and observations conducted with Holocaust survivors.
Join us to hear Alex’s compelling story of resistance, survival, and freedom.
Andrew Silow-Caroll, JTA’s Managing Editor for Ideas and editor at large of the New York Jewish Week, will conduct the interview and lead a discussion with the eyewitness and Scholar of this historic event.
