The forced march, although terrifying at the time, may have saved the family’s lives. Once Bill and his family were in Soviet-controlled Poland, they continued their eastward journey into the Soviet interior, where they remained in relative safety for the rest of WWII. When Germany invaded the USSR in June 1941 the family “ran,” recalls Bill. Although the family was together, life was tremendously difficult, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years.
This special event will be at Kenny & Ziggy’s for National Delicatessen Month. Attendees may attend for free but are encouraged to purchase a multi-choice, three-course menu for $38, plus tax and gratuity, with 10% of each meal sold going to HMH to fund the Museum’s education programs. As an added incentive, HMH will offer anyone who purchases a National Deli Month meal a complimentary HMH admission ticket.
