Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center and JCC Mid Westchester Book Talk: Something Beautiful Happened: A story of Survival and Courage in the Face of Evil with Yvette Manessis Corporon moderated by Steve Goldberg, Co-Educational Director of the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center.

Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother’s stories about how people of her native Greek island hid a Jewish family from the Nazis. The story stayed with Yvette. She found the survivor’s descendants in Israel. Their reunion was cut short by her cousin’s child gunned down by a Neo-Nazi at the JCC of Kansas.

Yvette Manessis Corporon is a New Rochelle native, a three-time Emmy Award winning writer and producer.
