The late Shulamit Bastecky spent decades telling the story of her life, one filled with tragedy, miracles and hope. She told it so that young people would know, and she told it so that it wonât happen again.
Bastecky, who passed away in January at the age of 79, survived the Holocaust with the help of a nun who hid her in a crib in a basement.
On Wednesday evening, she was honored at the Yom HaShoah Holocaust Memorial service held at the Congregation Emanu-El Israel in Greensburg, which co-sponsored the virtual program with Seton Hill Universityâs National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education.
