Between 1939 and 1945\, Orlin and his family lived on the run. The eldest son of Sender and Sonia Orlinski\, he was seven years old when German troops invaded Poland and occupied his hometown of Brok. The Jewish residents were forcibly marched to Ostrow Mazowiecki\, about 50 miles northwest of Warsaw. \nThe forced march\, although terrifying at the time\, may have saved the family’s lives. Once Orlin 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\,” as Orlin recalls. Although the family was together\, life was tremendously difficult\, suffering from hunger and malnutrition for the next several years. \nThis event is free with Museum admission. No registration is necessary.

Chaja was born in Maarsbergen\, Holland in 1941\, after Germany had occupied the country. When she was just one year old\, Chaja and her family went into hiding\, splitting up because they were too many to stay in one place. Chaja ended up in Leiden with the van den Bergs\, a Dutch family active in the Resistance. \nIn February 1944\, the van den Bergs were betrayed and Chaja was sent to Westerbork\, a transit camp in northeastern Holland. Trains departed regularly from Westerbork or the killing centers in German-occupied Poland. On September 13\, 1944\, the last train left Westerbork. On it were 51 children\, including Chaja. After three grueling days and nights on the train\, the children arrived in Bergen-Belsen. The children were subsequently sent to Theresienstadt\, a ghetto and transit camp in Czechoslovakia. Chaja was liberated in May 1945. \nThis event is free with Museum admission.
