Sheldon Bleiweiss will talk about how his Polish Jewish parents met and fell in love during the Holocaust — the challenges they faced surviving independently in the open using false identities as non-Jews and their journey to America. He will share what it was to grow up as a child of survivors.
Sheldon Bleiweiss is a former docent at Houston’s Holocaust Museum, a member of the NC Council on the Holocaust, and a member of the NC Holocaust Speakers Bureau. He has spoken to hundreds of audiences throughout NC. He teaches an adult Holocaust course at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Duke University and at the Lifelong Learning program of the Wake County Public School System.
