Evergreen Woods Community and Dr. Ira Kleinfeld

Dr. Ira Kleinfeld

On Wednesday, November 18th, SSILL was privileged to hear a lecture by Dr. Ira Kleinfeld, Professor Emeritus, Industrial Engineering, University of New Haven.  His topic was Italy During World War II: Focus on the Holocaust.

The program was a collaboration between Evergreen Woods Retirement Community in North Branford and SSILL.

Residents of Evergreen Woods joined SSILL members to learn how the Jewish community both prospered and failed from World War I until the end of the Second World War. Professor Kleinfeld’s slides and videos of first-person accounts illuminated his talk and engaged everyone there.

Evergreen Woods was a gracious and generous host. In addition to offering a never-ending pot of coffee, they held a reception for everyone following Professor Kleinfeld’s talk.
