Holocaust Survivor to Speak at Herkimer College

Herkimer College’s Women’s Club is sponsoring “An Afternoon with Helen Sperling: Holocaust Survivor, Historian, Teacher.” The program will be held on Wednesday, December 2 from 4-6 p.m. in the Robert McLaughlin College Center, Sarkus Busch Theater.

Sperling will recount her life growing up in a small Polish town that was raided by Nazis. She was relocated to a Polish ghetto and later imprisoned at Ravensbruck, then Buchenwald. Sperling will discuss human dignity and resiliency.

The Women’s Club at Herkimer College raises awareness of women’s issues and empowers students to have a voice.

The event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to arrange for group accommodations, contact Jane Verri at 315-866-0300 ext. 8648.
