The Heroes of a Hidden Child: One Survivor’s Story of Gratitude

In recognition of Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), Lucy Taus Katz along with
Congregation Havurah Shalom of Sun City, Texas and in partnership with the Georgetown Public Library have created a thought-provoking and inspiring program titled “The Heroes of a Hidden Child: One Survivor’s Story of Gratitude” This program will take place at The Georgetown Public Library’s Hewlett Room, located at 402 West 8th Street in
Georgetown, Texas on Sunday, April 27th 2025 from 3-5pm. The event is FREE and all are welcome.

Lucy Taus Katz’s life is a story of survival against impossible odds. Born into a Jewish family in Nazi-occupied Europe, Lucy was just an infant when her family faced the horrors of the Holocaust. While much of her large extended family perished, Lucy’s life was spared through the extraordinary acts of kindness and bravery of strangers. These individuals
risked their own lives—and those of their families—to protect a child they had never met, embodying humanity at its most courageous.

Presented by Lucy Taus Katz herself, this program promises a unique insight into the extraordinary acts of courage, resilience, and humanity that persisted amidst one of history’s darkest periods. Through her words, Lucy emphasizes the power of kindness, forgiveness, and resilience to heal and transform individuals and communities. She reminds us that we all have the ability to make a difference, one person at a time, in repairing the world.
