A Twist of Fate
2023-03-24 10:00 - 12:00 | Arizona
Friday, March 24, 2022 – 10AM-12PM (MST)
SPEAKER: Karen Zubkoff Perna

Karen Perna, a descendant of Holocaust survivors, is fortunate enough to have known her great-grandparents and grandparents, who fled Germany with her mother and aunt to escape the darkest days of human history, arriving in the US in March 1940. Karen has had a lifelong desire to share her family’s history to enrich others not only about the Holocaust, but also about genocides still happening in our world today. Karen found the Phoenix Holocaust Association (PHA) and realized the organization aligns with her beliefs. She feels honored to serve on the PHA Board, as Coordinator of the PHA Speakers Bureau (arranging Holocaust speakers for schools and other organizations), and as a 2G (second generation of a Holocaust survivor) speaker.

David de Jong talks about his book, Nazi Billionaires: The Dark History of Germany’s Wealthiest Dynasties
2023-04-03 17:00 - 19:00 | Arizona
Please join us for an online discussion with author David de Jong on Monday April 3, 2023 5 pm MST (8 pm EST, 7 pm CST)
A groundbreaking investigation of how Germany’s wealthiest men helped the Nazis grab power and how the Nazis helped German tycoons make billions off the horrors of the Third Reich and World War II. In this landmark work of investigative journalism, David de Jong reveals the true story of how Germany’s wealthiest business dynasties amassed untold money and power by abetting the atrocities of the Third Reich. De Jong shows how these tycoons seized Jewish businesses, procured slave laborers, and ramped up weapons production to equip Hitler’s army as Europe burned around them. The brutal legacy of the dynasties that dominated Daimler-Benz, cofounded Allianz, and still control Porsche, Volkswagen, and BMW has remained hidden in plain sight.

Online Discussion with Anna Salton Eisen
Wednesday May 17, 2023 5pm AZ, 8pm EST, and 5pm PST
Registration: https://tinyurl.com/mr46m3jm
Anna Salton Eisen will share the stories of her two Holocaust survivor parents, George and Ruth Salton. In her dynamic, multimedia presentation, Anna travels with her family back to Poland to uncover their secrets – George, as a survivor of ten concentration camps in Poland, Germany, and France; and Ruth, a witness to the German invasion of Warsaw in September 1939 and later an underground operative for the Bricha movement. Through her father’s original Holocaust artwork (housed at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem) and her archival research as an Ambassador to the Arolsen Archives, Anna searches for and discovers the children of her father’s fellow concentration camp prisoners and several of his American liberators and shares these emotional reunions.
