Jack Hoffmann, a Holocaust survivor, will speak at Ferrum College Thursday, March 22 at 7:30pm at the Panther’s Den. Hoffmann, who was one of about 10,000 children saved by Great Britain’s Kindertransport during the Holocaust, will speak about his experiences. He will also show a film on The Children Who Cheated the Nazis, a moving story told by some of the children who were forced to flee from Nazi persecution shortly before war was declared. Their traumatic rescue and forced separation from their parents became known as the Kindertransport.

    Admission is free, and a discussion will follow. The presentation is open to the public.
