About the event
Please join us for the Annual Helen and Leon Sperling Holocaust Program at the Jewish Community Center, Utica. Our speaker is
Michael Gyory, the son of Hungarian survivors. He will talk about his life as the child of survivors and also growing up as the nephew of his Dad’s 6 first cousins who also survived the horrors of war and the concentration camps. Aunt Agi, one of the cousins, is alive at 103 and still holds an athletic world record. He will share her amazing story with us.
Michael Gyory has a master’s degree from the Annenberg School of the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of Generations Forward, a group of second and third generation people sponsored by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center of White Plains. He is also the Chairman of the Board of that organization.
We are fortunate to have Mr. Gyory with us. His talk will appeal to teens and adults and we encourage you to invite friends and neighbors.
