11/19 - Time: 11 a.m.

Holocaust Survivor & Author Fred Gross

Fred Gross, author of One Step Ahead of Hitler: A Jewish Child's Journey Through France, will speak and sign copies of his book.  

"Fred Gross knew much about the history of the Holocaust, but he didn't know his own, being a young Jewish child during those terrible years. In the late 1980s, he asked his mother to tell him the story of his family's flight from the German invasion of Belgium and the Nazi policies that would become the Holocaust. One Step Ahead of Hitler is a story of survival told in words and in photographs of a journey beginning in Antwerp and ending with his freedom in America." (from Mercer University Press, publisher of One Step Ahead of Hitler)

Faculty, staff, students, and members of the community are invited to attend.
