SUMMARY:USHMM | 2025 First Person Series: Joan Da Silva
DESCRIPTION:As a young Jewish child\, Joan Da Silva had to move from family to family to stay safe from the Nazis in German-occupied Poland\, usually without her parents. She also had to pretend to be Catholic\, as recorded on her false identity papers. To pull off this ruse\, a rescuer taught Christian prayers to five-year-old Joan in the middle of the night. \nIn her first appearance on First Person\, Joan will share her experiences. “I knew something terrible was happening. I knew that I must never tell anybody that I was Jewish. … Whatever was happening was something that was not going to happen to me … I was going to survive.”\nSpeakerJoan Da Silva\, Holocaust Survivor and Museum Volunteer\nModeratorBill Benson\, Journalist and Host\, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors\nTo register\, click here.&nbsp\;
