"Hiding in the Open."
Presented by Sabina S Zimering, M.D.
Dr. Zimering will present a talk based on her memoir, "Hiding in the Open." Thanks to the bravery of a catholic family, Sabina Schwartz, a Jewish teenager in Poland obtained false identification papers during World War II. Posing as a Catholic, she worked from 1943 to 1945 in a posh hotel in Germany - surrounded by Nazi officers. For more than 50 years, Dr. Sabina Zimering of St. Louis Park had been unwilling to tell her too-painful story. When she retired as an ophthalmologist in 1996, she was determined to remember and write her story.
Dr. Zimering's lecture will be preceded at 3:30 by a musical introduction. Alexander Chernyshev and Betsy Husby will play relevant selections, including Kol Nidrei, three pieces “From Jewish Life” by Ernest Bloch and Meditation Hebraique.
Signed copies of her book will be available for sale.
