The Jewish Community Council of Oceanside Presents the Annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration
Thursday April 24 | 7pm
Peter Suchmann, Board Member of the International Kindertransport Association, will share the remarkable story of his parents’ escape from Vienna, Austria, in November 1938, immediately following Kristallnacht. They were part of the first Kindertransport from Vienna—a rescue operation that saved thousands of Jewish children, transporting them to safety in Britain during the height of Nazi-controlled Europe (1938-1939). Peter’s parents reunited years later, moved to Israel in 1948, married, and joined the Israeli Air Force. They later returned to England, where they raised a family. In 1962, they immigrated to the United States.
