Grab a cup of something, relax and join us on Wed. November 20th for a Virtual Coffee Encounter hosted by Holocaust Remembrance Association founders Rozalie and Mitch Jerome.
In this month’s Encounter, Dr. Susanna Kokkonen will interview Joseph Krygier, author of “A Rage To Live: Surviving The Holocaust So Hitler Would Not Win.”
Our speaker Joseph Krygier is the director of New Covenant Baptist Fellowship/Theos Dulous Ministries, Mindanao Philippines. His early career was as an actor and dancer before he became a Christian in 1976. Joseph Krygier is a graduate of Yad Vashem’s Christian Leadership Seminars.
His book, A Rage To Live: Surviving The Holocaust So Hitler Would Not Win, was written with Holocaust survivor Victor Breitburg.
In his book he tells the story of Victor and his family. At the age of 12, the war broke out with the invasion of Poland. He survived the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, Buchenwald, Rehmsdorf and Theresienstadt camps. He was liberated on his 18th birthday on VE Day, May 8 1945. He was one of “The Boys” that Sir Martin Gilbert wrote about in his book of that title.
His journey went from Prague, to Scotland, England, the US and he lived in America as a businessman and Holocaust lecturer.
