Sabina Zimering, Holocaust survivor, to Speak at Pleasant Hill Library November 13
Sabina Zimering, the author of “Hiding in the Open” and a Holocaust survivor, will be speaking at Pleasant Hill Library on Saturday, November 13 at 2:00. Sabina, a Polish Jew, came of age as Hitler and the Nazis rose to power. When Poland was invaded Sabina and her sister survived the horrors of the Holocaust by disguising themselves as Catholics from Poland while living in Germany and working as maids in a hotel in Berlin. They had to rely on one another and their quick wits to keep them safe and sane as the world around them crumbled. After the war, she went to medical school, married, and eventually immigrated to Minnesota. Her memoir “Hiding in the Open” was also made into a successful play performed at the Minnesota History Theater earlier this year. This free program is open to all ages. This program is funded in part with money from the vote of the people of Minnesota which dedicated funding to preserve Minnesota’s arts and cultural heritage.
