A very special educational program is set for Thursday evening, 6 to 8 PM. The Vermilion County Museum Society is hosting Dr. William Gingold, a child Holocaust survivor from World War II. His family was from Warsaw, Poland; and they escaped to Russia, and then came to the United States in 1951. As the museum’s Sue Richter tells us, this perspective on the Holocaust years will be very unique.
AUDIO: We became acquainted during the time that we had the Auschwitz exhibit here. But his experiences are so different from those that were in the concentration camps. And it presents another whole, I guess you could say, piece of insight; into what was going on during that time in Germany, and Poland, and Russia.
The Vermilion County Museum is at 116 North Gilbert in Danville. Parking is available south of the museum in the old First Midwest Bank lot, and to the north at Automobile Diagnostics. Once again, that program is 6 to 8 PM Thursday night.
