Culture Crawl 903 “Everyone Else Had Memories”

At 79, Erika Schwartz is one of the youngest Holocaust survivors. Her memories are those of the lasting PTSD her mother suffered due to their imprisonment and post-war life under Communist role in Hungary. Erika didn’t really come to terms with why she struggled with self-esteem and finding meaning in her life until middle age.

Erika will give two public presentations in Cedar Rapids as a part of the Thaler Holocaust Speaker Series, April 1 at 7pm at Coe College and April 2 at 1:30 in Kirkwood’s Ballantyne Auditorium. The Kirkwood event will be live-streamed at www.kirkwood.edu/ballantyne.

More information on Erika’s appearances and a wealth of details and history of the Holocaust at www.holocausteducate.org.
