Holocaust Survivor Eva Olsson -- A Journey of Darkness and Light. All are welcome. This lecture is sponsored by the History Department, Lady Eaton College and Gzowski College.

Eva was born into a poor Hasidic family in Hungary in 1924 and forcibly deported to Auschwitz in 1944. She will address the hardships and terror she experienced and how she survived and emigrated to Canada. Over the past decade she has spoken to hundreds of schools and universities, and she has also addressed the United Nations. For her services in helping to educate students about the Holocaust Eva Olsson has received the Order of Ontario and an honorary doctorate from Nipissing University. She is the author of an acclaimed autobiography and the subject of a documentary film entitled Stronger than Fire: The Eva Olsson Story. All are very welcome to attend her talk.
