Holocaust rescuer and survivor tells her story June 4

Foss is honored to present Jeannie Smith, daughter of Irene Gut Opdyke, a Holocaust rescuer and survivor, who will be telling her mother’s story.

The story she tells, although filled with the horrors and hate that the Holocaust holds, also brings the message that faith, love and hope can triumph over evil.

It proclaims the conviction that one by one we can say no to hatred, persecution, and prejudice.

The story speaks of the power of love and encourages the fact that ‘One person can make a difference!” Love is the greatest weapon we have. Hate is easy, it takes real courage to love.
