Telling our Stories Speaker Series presents Tales of Displacement and Survival with Joan Knighton and Irv Handler

This presentation includes two stories of displacement and survival that seem appropriate on Remembrance Day. "The Almost Forgotten Children" by Joan Knighton tells the history behind the British Home Children — more than 100,000 young boys and girls sent from Great Britain to Canada between 1869 and 1948 as part of a child emigration movement. In "Surviving Genocide, a Family Testimony", Irv Handler shares emotional stories of how his Holocaust survivor parents and extended family suffered and survived the genocide and how inter-generational trauma affected his life. His presentation may be upsetting to some audiences.
