Isaacson To Share Memories Of Nazi Germany

The Millersville Area Historical Society (MAHS) invites the public to a presentation, titled "The Education System Under the Nazi Regime in Germany," during its 9 a.m. meeting on Saturday, Feb. 11, in Millersville's Municipal Center, 100 Municipal Drive. Doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and lock at 9:15 a.m.

The presenter will be author Eleanor Isaacson. Her talk will include many of Isaacson's memories of living as a child in Germany under the regime of Hitler, when she experienced bombings, invasions, starvation and other atrocities. Several large posters related to the presentation will be available for perusal by the audience, as will Isaacson's books: "Dancing From Darkness: A WWII Survivor's Journey to Light, Life, and Redemption" and two devotionals. A question-and-answer session will end the presentation.

Isaacson left Germany at the age of 13 and came alone to New Jersey, where she lived and worked before retiring some 20 years ago. Her various careers and interests have included insurance, modeling, singing and professional dancing. A Willow Valley resident, she is a well-known volunteer with numerous area community organizations. In addition to her speaking engagements and volunteer commitments, she mentors young people throughout the area, has developed a dance studio for students to use in theatrical studies, and counsels the Amish on a variety of subjects.

Admission is free, but donations are appreciated. For more information, contact Phil Gerber at 717-872-8837 before 5 p.m. or at pge8507@aol.com.
