A man who spent time as a child in a concentration camp in Belgium during WWII before being rescued by the British is coming to Pella to share his experience.
Dr. Dirk van Leenen is speaking at a public event at 7:00 this evening in the Central College Cox-Snow Recital Hall. Van Leenen shares his real life experience, including how his father traveled Holland doing his part in resisting the Nazi occupation and saving lives. Dirk’s book series based on his experiences during the Holocaust include Resistance on a Bicycle, The Americans are Coming and The Last Train to the Concentration Camp.
The event is free to attend.
