Tunnel, Smuggle, Collect: A Holocaust Boy

This presentation, by Author Jeffrey Gingold, about his father and grandparents’ survival of the Warsaw Ghetto during the Holocaust, is coming to The Highground. Jeffrey Gingold gathered the details of his moving personal family story by conducting interviews and saving video recordings of his father and grandfather who were both survivors of the Holocaust.

He documented these first-hand harrowing stories in his book, “Tunnel, Smuggle, Collect: A Holocaust Boy,” telling the experiences of 7-year-old Sam Gingold as he struggled to keep himself and his family alive during one of the darkest and deadliest chapters of human history.

Young Sam smuggled food and medicines, and as the war continued, was forced to labor under Nazi rule in the walled city within a city of the Warsaw Ghetto in occupied Poland.

After a dangerous underground escape, the family was pursued by the Gestapo across the Polish countryside. This compelling story of courage, resilience and determination will take place in The Highground Theater Room on Saturday, January 16 at 3 pm.

The afternoon CAMO presentation will include a book signing. To pre-order a book and for more information, email Theresa at [email protected] or call 715-743-4224.
