May 17 Club Meeting - Double Header

The First Act: As a young German boy Henry Oster survived deprivation in the Lodz Ghetto, a life-or-death selection in the Birkenau extermination camp, a  firing squad in Auschwitz, being strafed by an Allied  fighter, and starvation in Buchenwald. Henry rebuilt his life in America, arriving at 18 with no family, no English, no money and no education. Of 2,011 Jews uprooted from Cologne, Germany in 1941, he is the only survivor.

The Second Act:  Our club and the West Valley-Warner Center Chamber of Commerce honor the officers and staff of the Topanga Police Station under the leadership of Captain Maureen Ryan.
