THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED. WE WILL ANNOUNCE THE NEW DATE SOON.

When the Nazis marched into Lviv in 1941, six-year-old Krystyna Chiger's life changed forever. Forced to go into hiding due to persecution at the hands of the Nazis, Krystyna and her family joined about 20 others in the sewers under Lviv. For 14 months, Chiger and her family lived beneath those who were able to freely go about their lives under Nazi occupation. Surrounded by rats, filth, disease and constant rushing water, every day was a struggle to endure. Their survival would not have been possible without the aid of Leopold Socha, a Polish sewer worker who saved their lives through his extraordinary acts of bravery and kindness. When liberation came, Krystyna's brother, Pawel, was so terrified of other people and the sunlight, he began crying to return to the sewers he had come to call home.

Krystyna has dedicated her life to speaking about her experiences during the Holocaust, most notably doing so through the publication of her memoir The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust’s Shadow. Chiger will be joined by co-author Daniel Paisner, as well as her son, Doron Keren, to speak about her life before, during and since the Holocaust, and the unbelievable triumph of survival.
