Letters to Sala Exhibit
March 2nd-March 29th
Temple Beth Israel – 1175 East 29th Avenue, Eugene
Sala’s story is, above all, a story of life and one young woman’s way of seeing beyond years of horror. From her letters, we learn about friendship and love, Jewish life in occupied Poland, Nazi labor camps, the intensely human need to rebuild life after the catastrophe of war, and the ability of words to give and sustain life.
The letters will be displayed at Temple Beth Israel from March 2nd-March 29th.
