TOMS RIVER, N.J. – Holocaust survivor, educator, and New Jersey resident Maud Dahme returns to the Ocean County College campus on Tuesday, March 25 to share her story of being hidden by Christian families as a child in The Netherlands during World War II.
Members of the community are invited to join us at 12:30 p.m. in the Gateway Building Lecture Hall (Building 101, Room 104) for this moving presentation entitled “A Survivor’s Journey.”
As a six-year-old child living in the Netherlands in 1942, Maud and her four-year-old sister were sent into hiding to avoid the Nazis. The girls survived and were reunited with their parents after the war. Maud’s personal experiences were chronicled in her book, Chocolate, the Taste of Freedom: The Holocaust Memoir of a Hidden Dutch Child.
The event is open to the public and admission is free.
