3GNY Stories Live: WEDU Wednesdays

Alyssa will focus on the story of her grandmother, Stefi Greengrass. Stefi was born and raised in Hungary where she lived a relatively normal and happy life. When she was 26 years old, Stefi and her family were taken by the Nazis when they invaded Hungary as a part of the Final Solution. Stefi survived numerous concentration camps including Auschwitz II- Birkenau, Mauthausen, Gross Rosen and Bergen-Belsen where she was ultimately liberated.

While Stefi never told Alyssa her story of survival directly, she diligently worked to learn her story through Stefi's recorded testimony and by interviewing numerous family members whom Stefi confided with. Alyssa is honored to share Stefi's story as a means to honor her and continue educating our community.
