News & Information

Holocaust survivor Hanne Holsten

Hanne Holsten lived a normal life in Nuremberg, Germany in 1938 - until the terrifying night of Kristallnacht. The Nazis destroyed everything her family owned, leading to a two-year journey fleeing across Europe and hiding with smugglers.

Hanne’s survival is a story of profound luck and resilience. On Monday, March 9th, she shares her testimony so that no one forgets the terrors of the shoah.

A life restored: Hanne lives in Hartsdale and has been blessed with 3 children, 10 grandchildren, and 2 great-grandchildren.
