Holocaust Survivor Holocaust Survivor to Speak at Prescott College Ella Adler, a Holocaust survivor, and her husband, Harry, an American World War II veteran, will speak at Prescott College on Tuesday, Feb. 27, from 6-8 p.m.
Admission is free and the public is welcome, though seating is limited.
At 18 years of age, Ella Adler, along with her father, was transported to Plazow, a labor camp 20 miles from Krakow, Poland, built for 20,000 inmates upon a Jewish cemetery. In her memoir, Adler describes the camp. In Plazow, at first, we were placed in a very heavy labor area and told to carry heavy stones across a field, pick up another stone and carry it back across the field again. There was no purpose in our work, and those who could not continue were shot. Nazi guards moved among us with German Shepherd dogs trained to kill those who were pointed out to them.
