SUMMARY:Living in Many Worlds
DESCRIPTION:From our partner\, Arizona Jewish Historical Society\n\nFriday\, September 22\, 2023 at 10AM (MST)\n\nSPEAKER: 2G and PHA Vice President Eva Flaster\n  \nEva Flaster is the daughter of two Holocaust survivors. Her father\, Chune \nFlaster\, was born in December of 1912 in Nowy Sacz\, a city in the \nCarpathian Mountains of Poland. He loved the mountains and enjoyed \nthe outdoors\, skiing\, and hiking. He lived at home with his mother and his \ntwo siblings until he enlisted in the Polish Army. When the Germans \nattacked\, the Polish Army only lasted three weeks. The Poles disbanded\, \nand he moved eastwards and was captured by the Russians who \ninvaded Poland from the East. They sent him to a gulag in the frigid\, \nfrigid north of Russia. The Russians released him in 1941and he fought \nthe Nazis for a second time. \nMeanwhile\, Eva’s mom\, Genia Nordon\, was born in Sosnowiec \n(Southwestern) Poland in 1924. She lived with her parents and three \nsiblings. She was four days shy of her fifteenth birthday when the war \nbegan. The Nazis removed them from their home and forced them into a \nless desirable apartment. Life was exceedingly difficult\, and food was \nscarce. Jews were no longer allowed to go to school. The family was \nmoved one more time in1942. This time to a sealed ghetto. \nFrom 1939 to 1942\, Genia often hid her star with a purse and tried to \nbarter for food for the family. In 1942\, the Nazis captured her\, and she \nbecame a slave laborer in a chemical plant. In January of 1945\, the \nNazis knew they were losing the war. They removed prisoners from the \ncamps and took them on the “death march” to erase all evidence of the \nconcentration camps. During the “death march\,” Genia tried to escape by \njumping from a moving train. The Nazis recaptured her\, and she went \nthrough a series of prisons\, and eventually\, she wound up in the small \nfortress at Terezin. \nTwo years after the war\, thanks to a family friend also living in the \nAmerican sector of Germany\, Chune and Genia met each other. They \ndated\, got engaged and married in 1948. Eva was born the following \nyear in the same Displaced Persons’ camp in Landsberg Am Lech. \nPlease join us on Sept. 22\, when Eva will share more about her parents’ \nstory and growing up as the child of survivors. \nRegistration: Arizona Jewish Historical Society — AZJHS Our Parent’s Stories
