A Pittsburgh woman who’s the daughter of a Holocaust survivor will share her father’s life experiences at a program next month in Carnegie.
The program, titled “My Dad’s Story: Remembering the Holocaust with Sue Tresatti and Richard Murphy” will begin at 7 p.m. June 9 at the Music Hall at the Andrew Carnegie Free Library and Music Hall, 300 Beechwood Ave., Carnegie.
Doors open at 6:15 p.m.
During the program, Tresatti will share how her father, Norman Roth, survived the horrors of the Holocaust and how he escaped to the West from behind the Iron Curtain, eventually settling in Pittsburgh.
As a teenage boy, Roth was imprisoned in the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps.
In Auschwitz, Roth’s life was spared for labor, but his mother, younger sister and younger brother were killed in the gas chambers.
Richard Murphy, a military researcher and World War II historian, will provide historical context.
A question-and-answer session will follow the presentation, as will a reception with light refreshments in the library’s Lincoln Gallery.
The program is free and open to the public. It is cosponsored by the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh.
Registration is required and available at CarnegieCarnegie.org or by calling the library at 412-276-3456.
More information about the program is available at CarnegieCarnegie.org.
