On September 15 and 16, 2019, the IJHS hosted public events with Michael Bornstein and his daughter Debbie Bornstein Holinstat, authors of the New York Times bestseller Survivors Club: The True Story of a Very Young Prisoner of Auschwitz. Michael Bornstein is one of the youngest survivors of the Auschwitz death camp, having been hidden for seven months before being carried out in his grandmother’s arms. In sharing Michael’s story, the presentations connected Iowans to local, national, and international events that still shape our future and help ensure that the personal stories of the Holocaust continue to be heard.
