ON THE FRINGE OF THE HOLOCAUST
George Brawerman
George grew up in Belgium and spent the war years under German occupation. He will recount some of his experiences as a target of Nazi persecution, with emphasis on what it feels to be in hiding, in constant danger of being caught. He will also address, from his own perspective, the apparent acceptance of many Jews to be led to slaughter without offering any resistance.
Upon arriving in the United States in 1949, George embarked on an academic career as a biochemist at Columbia, Yale and Tufts Medical Schools. After retiring, he pursued his interests in writing and photography.
