Presenter: Ettie Zilber, author of “A Holocaust Memoir of Love & Resilience: Mama’s Survival from Lithuania to America”

Ettie Zilber’s birth in a displaced persons camp in Germany marked her with a special responsibility. Retirement from a career as an educational leader in international schools in six countries has given her the opportunity to fulfill that responsibility — to research, document and publish her family’s Holocaust experiences, reflect on their impact on the next generation and share the stories and lessons with youth worldwide. She continues to present at schools, universities, conferences in the U.S. and in various other countries – including, most recently, in Germany.

About the book: In her own words, Zlata Sidrer tells the story of how her life in Kaunas, Lithuania, changed forever with the Nazi occupation in 1941. Gone was her dream of becoming a doctor—instead she found herself trapped in the Ghetto along with the rest of the town’s surviving Jewish population, before being transported to Stutthof Concentration Camp and eventually taken on the infamous death march through the freezing Polish winter.
