In recognition of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Eldred World War II museum will be hosting a live virtual presentation: A Holocaust Survivor’s Inspiring Life Story with Menachen Etkin on January 27th at 1 PM.
Michael Etkin was born on December 25th, 1932 in Krulevshchizna, North of Belarus. Michael became a partisan with the Rokosovsky Partisan Brigade and was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust.
Michael’s son, Menachem, preserves the legacy of his father by giving talks to thousands of students and soldiers throughout Israel. He is dedicated to sharing his memory and has translated his father’s memoir “Despite Everything – I Had Won” for English readers around the world. Menachem will be giving the presentation from his home in Israel.
