Part of WTA’s commemoration of Yom HaShoah this year included a special visit from Celia Kener, a survivor of the Shoah. Mrs. Kener shared with the middle school about her experience being hidden in plain sight, as the child of a couple of British expatriates living in Poland. These tzadikim sheltered the young Mrs. Kener, and also hid her mother in their barn, despite the extreme danger of such an arrangement. Be”H Mrs. Kener and both of her parents survived the war, reunited afterward and made their way to America. Her pride in having not just survived, but grown to raise three Jewish children of her own and a slew of Jewish grandchildren shone through her presentation, and WTA students are eternally grateful to Mrs. Kener for sharing her story.
