3GNY Intergenerational Brunch
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join us for a day of food, friends, and discussion at our annual Intergenerational Brunch! All in our community of descendants of Holocaust survivors and supporters are invited to eat, connect, and learn together.
We are honored to welcome this year’s speaker, Doris Schechter, who will share her incredible journey of survival and resilience. Born in Vienna to Jewish parents, Doris and her family fled to Italy at the start of World War II. In 1944, at the age of six, she boarded The Henry Gibbins, a ship bound for New York, where she and her family became some of the 982 refugees hosted at the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter in Oswego, NY—the only shelter in the United States for Jewish refugees during the Holocaust. With the help of Ruth Gruber and Eleanor Roosevelt, Doris and her family were able to stay in the U.S. after the war, eventually settling in New York City. Doris went on to become a successful entrepreneur, founding the iconic My Most Favorite Dessert Company, and is also an author and filmmaker, using her work to preserve and share her family’s extraordinary story.
