For the Sake of Our Elders: A German-Jewish Family Saga
Advertisement
Join us for an inspiring evening as we explore a remarkable German-Jewish family saga that spans generations, continents, and the history of one of our most iconic landmarks—the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge.
We are thrilled to host author, archivist, and physician Robert L. Stahl, M.D., for a special book talk and signing of For the Sake of Our Elders: A German-Jewish Family Saga.
✨ THE STORY:
Robert Stahl will trace three generations of his family, from their flight from the Nazis (including on the Kindertransport) to their incredible journey to America.
Discover the life of Holocaust survivor Frank Stahl, who rose to become chief engineer of Ammann & Whitney—the visionary firm behind the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, the Garden State Parkway, and Golden Gate Bridge renovations.
🎤 SPECIAL INTRO:
The evening will be introduced by Patricia Salmon, acclaimed author of Staten Island and the Verrazzano Bridge.
📅 WHEN: Monday, Nov. 16 at 6:30 PM
📍 WHERE: Manzulli Boardroom (Foundation Hall), Wagner College
📍 One Campus Road, Staten Island, NY
🍷 Bonus: Enjoy complimentary hors d'oeuvres!
Come for the rich local history, stay for the deeply moving personal story of resilience and triumph.
