A JEWISH JOURNEY: Survivor, Israel Pioneer, and Shoah Educator Sam Ron
with Bliha Ron and Caren Neile
Friday, APRIL 14, 1:30 ET
FREE In-person: Reservation not required
Where: LEVIS JCC, 21050 95th Avenue South, Boca Raton, FL 33428
A Jewish Journey is the memoir of Sam Ron, born Shmuel Rakowski in Kazimierza-Wielka, in a tiny shtetl near Krakow in 1924, which was overtaken by the Nazis in 1939. Sam Ron is one of the oldest living survivors of the Nazi death camps. After the war, he worked for Bericha, an organization that resettled in the Land of Israel orphaned refugees from Europe. He also served in the Hagenah fighting force and was what is known as a chalutz, an early settler before the founding of the State of Israel, where he helped found a settlement and served as a soldier in the Hagenah, the precursor to the Israel Defense Forces. He subsequently immigrated to the U.S. and was a successful land developer in Akron and Canton, Ohio. Now, Sam lives in Boca Raton at the Sinai Residences and continues what he has done for over half a century: educating young and old about his experiences of the momentous historical events in which he has taken part. Along with his acclaimed work as a volunteer educator, until 2019, Sam Ron was a regular volunteer for the March of the Living, a longstanding educational program that takes students and adults to Poland and Israel to visit many of the same places where he survived—and thrived.
