From the History Club of Los Gatos archives - one of our Women's History Month posts from 2019.
· March 4, 2019 ·
Today For Women's History Month, the History Club would like to spotlight a woman not many of us have ever heard of - Nancy Wake. Nancy joined the resistance in France in 1940 and helped many people escape the country. This video was aired for Holocaust Remembrance Day, but we think Women's History Month is a good time to be inspired by brave women like Nancy Wake.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is an international memorial day commemorating the tragedy of the Holocaust that occurred during the Second World War. It commemorates the genocide that resulted in the death of an estimated 6 million Jews, 8.7 million Slavs, 1.8 million ethnic Poles, 220,000 Romani people, 250,000 mentally and physically disabled people, 312,000 Serb civilians, 1,900 Jehovah's Witnesses, 70,000 "asocials", by the N**i regime and its collaborators.
Ask us about how to join or rent the History Club - you can help us have a positive impact on our community - we donate a portion of the rental of our building to local organizations that benefit women and children.
