LUNCHEON PROGRAM:
Gitta Ryle will be the guest speaker for this month’s meeting. Gitta is 91 years old and was born to a Jewish family in 1932, a year before the Nazis seized power in Germany. Gitta and her sister, Renee, were placed on a train bound for France in 1939 after being separated from her parents in Austria. They were moved to many different households throughout the six years that followed the occupation of France. They reunited with their mother in 1946. They later learned that her father and grandparents were murdered in the camps. Gitta married and relocated to Southern California where she and her husband raised their three children. She moved to Santa Cruz in 1984.
She did not share her experiences for many years, but then decided to turn her experiences into teaching moments. She feels that it is very important to teach younger generations that this was all real and not fabricated, as some have claimed. The Holocaust was a real global atrocity and must never happen again.
Her story is powerful, with many pictures on screen. You will be moved by it.
