A very special invitation

You are invited to join us for coffee and a remarkable conversation with two living treasures:

Hank Schwab was 19 and a German Jew when Hitler came to power. He survived Buchenwald concentration camp and made his way to the U.S. He became the Olympian Jesse Owens' business partner and a civil rights activist.

John Boyle was 19 and a sergeant in the U.S. Army when he helped liberate the concentration camp at Dachau in 1945. He became a Presbyterian minister.

For the first time, these men --Holocaust survivor and liberator-- speak together publicly about the experiences that shaped their lives and our history.
