Soon after\, Stefi’s two older brothers were arrested and sent to a labor camp\, and Nazi soldiers brutuall beat her fater and drove the family from their house. They fled to Stefi’s grandfather’s farm\, taking shelter in the barn. \nThe family remained together until 1940\, when Stefi was sent to the labor camp of Jastkov. Later she was sent to Treblinka and Majdanek. Next\, she was sent to the camp of Dorohucza. Although Dorohucza had neither gas chambers nor crematoria of the other camps\, death always hovered nearby. Like Stefi\, many of the inmates were only half alive by the time they got there. At the end of 1943\, Stefi discovered that her sister\, Kayla\, had also been sent to Dorohucza. But relief soon turned to horror when Kayla was brutally murdered. \nStefi managed\, against all odds\, to escape Dorohucza. For the remainder of the war\, she hid in a coffin-like space underneath a barn that belonged to a sympathetic Polish farmer. After she was liberated by the Soviets\, she learned that her entire family had been murdered. \nStefi Altman\, z”l\, passed away in December 2017.A SPECIAL THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS \n \n Register URL:https://hmh.org/event/free-admission-day-in-honor-of-stefi-altman-2/ LOCATION:Holocaust Museum Houston CATEGORIES:Free Admission Day ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://hmh.org/wp-content/uploads/altman-stefi-456w.jpg-800x800-q85-crop-subsampling-2-upscale.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20230516T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20230516T200000 DTSTAMP:20260404T025920 CREATED:20230809T075924Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231011T131552Z UID:10000422-1684263600-1684267200@hmh.org SUMMARY:Moving Forward Lecture | Justice Malala: How Mandela Averted Civil War\, His Legacy & South Africa Today DESCRIPTION:Renowned South African political commentator and best-selling author Justice Malala recounts how the assassination of Nelson Mandela’s protégé by a white supremacist threatened to derail South Africa’s democratic transition and plunge the nation into civil war. \nJohannesburg\, Easter weekend\, 1993. Nelson Mandela has been free for three years and is in power sharing talks with President FW de Klerk when a white supremacist shoots Mandela’s popular young heir apparent\, Chris Hani\, in hopes of igniting an all-out civil war. Will he succeed in plunging South Africa into chaos\, safeguarding apartheid for perhaps years to come? \nIn The Plot to Save South Africa\, Justice Malala recounts the gripping story of the next nine days\, as the government and Mandela’s ANC seek desperately to restore the peace and root out just how far up into the country’s leadership the far-right plot goes. Told from the points of view of over a dozen characters on all sides of the conflict\, Malala offers an illuminating look at successful leadership in action and a terrifying reminder of just how close a country we think of today as a model for racial reconciliation came to civil war. \nJustice Malala’s new book The Plot to Save South Africa: The Week Mandela Averted Civil War and Forged a New Nation will be available for signing at the event. \nJustice Malala is one of South Africa’s foremost political commentators and the author of the #1 bestseller We Have Now Begun Our Descent: How to Stop South Africa Losing its Way. A longtime weekly columnist for The Times (South Africa)\, his work has also appeared in The Washington Post\, The Wall Street Journal\, The Guardian\, and Financial Times\, among other outlets.
