From Hallein, Austria to Philadelphia and Dayton: The story of two Jewish refugees reunited after 69 years
7-8PM, via Zoom

November 8, 2020 was the date that reunited close friends, Israel ‘Srulik’ Segalewicz and Regina Puter. They were teenagers when they last saw each other in 1951 at the Jewish Refugees displaced persons camp in Hallein, Austria. Today, they are Ira Segalewitz and Ruth Brandspiegel, and their teen years seem a lifetime ago. How they ended up in Hallein, Austria, met each other, and found each other 69 years later is the story they will share. Segalewitz’s son, Scott Segalewitz, will moderate their conversation using a map that traces the routes from their homes to the DP camp to the U.S. 

This is a partnership with the JCC of Greater Dayton, Dayton’s Temple Beth Or Adult Education Committee, and the JCRC of the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia.
