Something Beautiful Happened: A Story of Survival and Courage in the face of evil

With Yvette Manessis Corporon

Moderated by Steve Goldberg, Co-Director of Education, The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center

Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother’s stories about how the people of her native Greek island hid a Jewish family from the Nazis. Years later, Yvette couldn’t get the story out of her head. Eventually finding the survivor’s descendants in Israel, their tearful reunion was cut short by the news of her cousin’s child gunned down by a Neo-Nazi in the parking lot of the JCC of Kansas.
