Survivor’s Quest to
Thank Rescuers
The Men’s Club of
Congregation B’nai Moshe
welcomes Rachel Slagter,
Holocaust survivor and
lecturer at the Museum of
Tolerance and the Holocaust
Museum LA to a virtual talk
at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 6.
Rachel will relate her
story as a child survivor and
highlight the courage of her
rescuers.
“I was hidden for two
years by some brave Dutch
people and transported to
them by a young man who
saved 33 Jewish children
during the years 1943-1945,”
she said.
Rachel’s siblings were
rescued in a similar fash-
ion after forced separation
from their parents who were
transported to Bergen-Belsen
concentration camp.
Rachel’s father survived,
however, he would not dis-
cuss any aspect his Holocaust
experiences, his wife’s death
and the children’s survival.
This led to Rachel’s decades-
long search to identify and
thank her rescuers.
The community is invited.
