In 1943, at only five years of age, Bill Donat was separated from his family in Poland’s Warsaw Ghetto and cast into the arms of strangers to protect him while war ravaged the city around him. Donat spoke to the Cornell community last night about his experiences in the ghetto, as well as finding refuge in a Catholic orphanage. The event was sponsored by Students for Tolerance, Awareness and Remembering Survivors and the Cornell Chapter of the American Jewish Committee.
