http://callingbullshit.org/syllabus.html

A goal for Salem's Strategic Planning effort

Salem provides transportation options and systems that are diverse and robust enough to provide all her residents — including the old, the young, the physically able or otherwise, the economically challenged or otherwise — with the ability to participate fully in social, civic, economic, and religious life in the city and this region without requiring ownership or access to use of a car.

A Harrowing Story of Survival Tickets, Thu, Jun 8, 2017 at 6:30 PM | Eventbrite





DESCRIPTION

Dr. Jacob Eisenbach is a 93 year old holocaust survivor from Poland. He emigrated to the United States with his wife and first-born child in 1950. He has practiced dentistry for 60 years until his retirement in 2015. Today he will be talking about his astonishing life while in the grip of Hitler's Third Reich for 5 years, and how hatred, discrimination and intolerance have led directly to the Jewish holocaust. He is the sole survivor of a loving family of about 100. Torture and mass murders of numerous ethnic groups through thousands of years have scarred mankind's history. It has been and continues to be Dr. Eisenbach's mission to eliminate the scourge of all genocides from the human race.

Come touch history in person and hear this amazing story of survival and success.
