Holocaust Speaker in Flagstaff
Please join us for an incredible evening of hope and inspiration with Holocaust survivor, Dirk Van Leenen.
This may be your last chance to meet one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors, and hear his story of survival and rebuilding against all odds. Don’t miss out on this amazing opportunity.
"The Last Train to the Concentration Camp"
Born in WWII-era Holland to a Jewish mother and non-Jewish father, Dirk Van Leenen's family suffered Nazi persecution after his father's rescue efforts were exposed. They were arrested and sent on a deadly four-day train ride to Bergen-Belsen, with liberation coming just a day after their arrival. Tragically, most relatives died in other camps, but two cousins escaped.
Van Leenen, author of “Resistance on a Bicycle,” “The Americans are Coming,” and “The Last Train to the Concentration Camp,” speaks out to share his harrowing story.
