SUMMARY:OCHS Sponsors Holocaust Survivor\, Arthur Spielman
DESCRIPTION:Ocean County Historical Society Sponsors Holocaust Survivor\, Arthur Spielman \nSunday\, October 11\, 2026\, at 2:00 PM \nThe Ocean County Historical Society welcomes Arthur Spielman\, who will speak about how he survived the Holocaust. \nArthur was born in 1928 in Krakow\, Poland. \nHe grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family with his father\, mother and two sisters. \nAlthough his family was not required to move into the Krakow ghetto because his father was an international diplomat\, the Spielman family chose to move to live closer to their extended family. \nArthur Spielman’s family briefly lived in the Krakow ghetto before the liquidation process in Krakow began. \nAs Arthur’s father became aware of the final solution\, the family separated and was smuggled out of Poland first to Slovakia and eventually to Hungary. \nIn 1942 Arthur’s grandparents were picked up by the Gestapo and Arthur never saw them again. \nArthur was interviewed by Stephen Spielberg for Schindler’s List and by the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. \nHe has spoken to many groups and believes very strongly in making sure the truth of the Holocaust experience stays alive in our collective memories. \nThese events take place at our museum at 26 Hadley Avenue in Toms River. \nThese events are free\, but your donations in support of our programs are appreciated. \nSEATING IS LIMITED so reserve your seat early by sending your name\, zip code\, email address\, telephone number\, and the name and date of the program (October 11\, 2026) to:  oceancountyhistory.programs@gmail.com \nwww.oceancountyhistory.org \noceancounty.history@verizon.net \n732-341-1880
