Inheritors of Memory with Dee Simon

Join us for this installation of the Inheritors of Memory Speaker Series as we enter our third season!

After recently retiring as CEO of the Holocaust Center for Humanity, Dee Simon decided to fulfill her goal to tell her mother’s Holocaust survival story as a member of the Speakers Bureau.

Her mother, Frieda Soury, was deported from her home in Ostrava, Czechoslovakia to Terezin Concentration Camp near Prague when she was 14 years old in 1943. She survived with a group of friends until she was liberated by her father who arrived at the camp to take her to safety.

Freda immigrated to Israel where she married and had her family. She and her husband moved to the United States in 1961

Frieda moved to Seattle to be with her family in 2004 and began to tell her story to students all over the state.

Dee lives in the Seattle area.

The program will be 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM.

Refreshments to be served.
