Leon Leyson, a Holocaust survivor, will speak at 7 p.m. Monday, May 19, at i wireless Center, 1201 River Drive, Moline.
Leyson survived in Schindler’s enamelware factory along with 1,200 other Jews. He and his parents were imprisoned in the Karkow ghetto when the Nazis invaded in 1939. Three years later, his father took him to work at Schindler’s factory. Leyson was so small that he stood on a box to reach machinery.
Schindler gave Leyson extra food rations and excused him from working at night when his vision began to fail. He, his parents and two siblings survived. Tickets cost $5 in advance, $7 at the door. Students and seniors are free with advance reservation. Contact Chabad Lubavitch at (563) 355-1065 or info@CadbadQuadCities.com or visit JewishQuadCities.com.
