The Catholic Community, Progressive Christians, and Hillel of Stanford University are pleased to host this special event with guest speaker Marty Brounstein, who will share stories of survival from the Holocaust. He brings a true interfaith story of courage and compassion about a Christian couple in the Netherlands who, despite much risk and danger, saved the lives of over two dozen Jews during the Holocaust and World War II. Brounstein has a meaningful personal connection to this story and its heroes, which he reveals in his engaging storytelling presentation.

Marty Brounstein is the author of Two Among the Righteous Few: A Story of Courage in the Holocaust. For over two and a half years, he has been on an unexpected journey in sharing this special story in a variety of venues throughout the Bay Area and beyond.
