Days of Learning: Book talk “A Force for Good,” the rescue of children from Nazi Germany with Anita Wyzanski Robby and Lynn Edelman

May 13 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

We are proud to present Anita Wyzanski Robby, the author of the critically acclaimed new biography about her late mother, Gisela Warburg Wyzanski. Gisela was a remarkable German Jewish woman who used her wealth and influence to rescue thousands of Jewish children and resettle them in the land now known as Israel. We will go behind the scenes of the Kindertransport and Youth Aliyah movements and meet Gisela’s mentors – Henrietta Szold, the founder of Hadassah, and Chaim Weitmann, Israel’s first president.

Dinner provided.
