Holocaust Remembrance on the 85th Anniversary of Kristallnacht
Thursday, November 9 | 6–7:30 p.m.
Adults & Teens | Burgess Community Room
Facing imminent arrest by Nazis, Evelyn Diamant Banko’s family fled Austria in 1938 when Evie was a toddler. Their journey took them through Latvia, Russia, China, and Japan before they settled in Portland in September, 1940. Although Evie and her parents survived the Holocaust, many of her family members did not. Evie includes the story of her Uncle Max, who was imprisoned at Gurs and other concentration camps and was ultimately killed at Auschwitz. Caution: Strong language involving death and violence. Program presented in partnership with Friends of the Tigard Library.
