This event is today: Nipmuc invites Mendon and Upton residents to attend presentation by Holocaust Survivor Janet Applefield

Nimpuc Regional High School in Upton, MA will host a guest speaker, Janet Applefield on March 19^th from 1:00 – 2:00pm in the auditorium. The program is supported in part by a grant from the Mendon Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council.

Applefield will speak about her life and her loss as a survivor of the atrocities of the Holocaust. She will also discuss what hate and prejudice did to her family and life.

At the age of four her country of Poland was attacked by Germany setting off a series of tragic events that destroyed her family and would see genocide committed on over six million European Jews.

As a victim to the Holocaust, she knows her personal experiences have an impact on people. Her story is not about hatred toward Jewish people, it is about prejudice against all people the Nazis did not like.

All Mendon and Upton residents are welcome to attend.
