A special performance at the Wright Museum in Wolfeboro will feature the firsthand account of Stephen Lewy, a Jewish refugee who fled the Nazis and eventually helped liberate the camp at Buchenwald as a member of the U.S. Army. His presentation will be interspersed with dramatic readings from the Diary of Anne Frank by Lakes Region actor Meg O'Brien.

The courageous story of Anne Frank (1929-1945), a Jewish girl whose family fled their native Frankfurt following Hitler's rise to power, is one of the best-known Holocaust accounts. The event will intersperse dramatic readings from Anne's famous diary with the recollections of N.H. Holocaust survivor, Stephan Lewy.

At the age of 8, Stephan Lewy's family lost all their property after the Nazis came to power. His father went to a work camp and Stephan was placed in an orphanage. He was eventually sent to France for safety. At the age of 16 he escaped first to North Africa, then to the United States, where he was reunited with his father and stepmother. He was drafted into the U.S. Army at 18, and was sent to Europe to fight the Germans. Mr. Lewy took part in the liberation of Buchenwald.
