An Evening with Author
Mark Biederman
Mark Biederman will speak about the extraordinary story of his twenty year quest to find gold coins which his father’s family buried in their backyard in Poland just prior to being deported by the Nazis into concentration camps. His father survived the war but died when the author was a teenager, leaving him only with the knowledge that he had buried coins somewhere in Poland, and no information about his family. During his quest, Biederman uncovered many interesting and disturbing facts about his father and mother and their families, such as the fact that his father was the third person on Oskar Schindler’s list and had a chance meeting with Adolf Hitler, and that his mother was selected as a cook for the infamous Dr. Josef Mengele.
