HMMSA | Rose Williams' Journey to Liberation

When Rose Sherman Williams was just twelve years old, the Nazis invaded her hometown in Poland. For the next five years, Rose was in various ghettos and concentration camps, including Auschwitz and one of the most despicable camps of all: Bergen-Belsen. But miraculously, despite beatings and starvation, she survived to be liberated.

Becky Hoag, the co-author of Rose Williams’ memoir "Letters to Rose", will share Rose’s story through excerpts from the book. Becky will not only discuss Rose’s liberation from Bergen-Belsen but also her other spiritual and physical liberations during her five years in ghettos and camps. Rose Williams’ story is one of tragedy and resilience, of desperation and hope, of captivity and liberation.
