Holocaust survivor and author Dr. Henry H. Oster will speak at Bristol Community Center on Thursday, November 8, at 12:30 p.m. The talk is free and open to the public.
Oster’s book, The Kindness of the Hangman, recounts his fight for survival as a young Jewish boy in Nazi Germany and his imprisonment in concentration camps. “Of the 2,011 Jews who were rounded up by the Gestapo and deported from Cologne, Henry Oster is the only person still alive to tell their story. He was one of only 19 German-speaking Jewish boys to emerge alive from the concentration camps after the war,” according to Amazon.com.
Oster’s talk will be held in Room 209 in the Jackson Arts Center (H Building) at 777 Elsbree Street in Fall River. It is sponsored by Bristol Community College’s Holocaust Center.
