The African Diasporaʼs history has been lost, excluded, or written by others. Mary L. Romney-Schaab tells the story of her father, Lionel Romney, an Afro-Caribbean, imprisoned in the Nazi concentration camp system. From Fossoli to Mauthausen, this is the true story of a Black survivorʼs place in the Holocaust narrative. Maryʼs journey to capture her fatherʼs story illuminates the importance and significance of oral history to individuals, their families, and at times to the overall historical record.
The talk will take place from 2:00pm-3:00pm, followed by a
Special Q&A for students and teachers from 3:00pm-3:30pm.
Please join HAMEC in partnership with Philadelphia Council member Isaiah Thomas’ office for a Black History Month event.
