Community Event: A Conversation Across Communities, a Personal Holocaust Account

June 03, 2021/ Marc Cheshire

The Scarsdale Historical Society is pleased to be co-sponsoring a Zoom event this Sunday morning, June 6th at 10am featuring a fascinating 92-year-old woman, Chanita Rodney. Chanita is a Holocaust survivor who was on the last Kindertransport from Germany to England and was adopted by a childless couple in the UK. Her story is compelling – one of strength, vitality and hope.

Please join us via Zoom. The program is offered at no charge but prior registration is required. Register for the program and a Zoom link will be sent in advance of the program.
