Dessert Reception and Presentation by Dr. Janet Bond Brill
Dr. Janet Bond Brill is the daughter-in-law of Edna Brill z”l, Allentown’s glamorous Jewish grandmother, a fixture in our community for over 60 years. Dig a little deeper into Edna’s past and you discover the courageous young “runner” who risked her life daily to sneak food past Nazi guards to starving Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto and to deliver messages for the Polish resistance. It’s a story of courage and sacrifice that Edna humbly kept quiet and that Bond Brill, an internationally recognized health author, shares in her new book, “Little Edna’s War: A True Story of Resistance and Hope.” In her talk to our community, Bond Brill brings this harrowing, inspiring Holocaust story to life, with scene after gripping scene from Edna’s struggle to save others’ lives while managing to survive the unthinkable herself.
