The True Story of Henry Zguda, a Holocaust Survivor

The True Story of Henry Zguda, a Holocaust Survivor In-Person

Local author, Katrina Shawver will share experiences from her time meeting with then—85-year old Holocaust survivor, Henry Zguda, as well as her efforts in sharing his remarkable story through her book, Henry: A Polish Swimmer’s True Story of Friendship from Auschwitz to America. 

Henry Zguda spent three years in Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a political prisoner during the second world-war. Since Henry’s death in 2003, Shawver has dedicated much of her life to finishing this book, which recounts Henry’s unique and powerful story. The book includes first-person narrative drawn from interviews with Henry, as well as original photos and documents. 

All library programs are free to attend. Registration is not required.
