Hiding in Plain Sight

In a powerful testimony of resilience, Holocaust survivor Allan J. Hall recounts his harrowing childhood "hiding in plain sight" in Nazi-occupied Poland, including two years spent concealed in a tiny closet within a building used as a German Air Force headquarters. As a retired attorney and advocate, Hall bridges historical memory with contemporary issues, emphasizing the "inner energy" required to survive the Lvov Ghetto and the importance of using one's voice to combat modern discrimination. His presentation will focus on the healing power of mental health transparency and the necessity of the rule of law in preventing future atrocities.
