Description: |
Jewish Genealogy Society of Long Island Meeting May 2019 Speaker Chris Nicola Topic The Secret of Priest's Grotto Cave at Mid-Island Y-JCC in Plainview, Nassau County, Long Island, New York.
Since the mid-1970s, Chris Nicola has explored dozens of caves around the world. One of his expeditions was to the Ukrainian cave where a group of Jews was rumored to have hidden for over a year during the Holocaust. Chris confirmed the story and went on to locate 14 of the 38 cave dwellers. He also co-authored a book about the cave and participated in making a documentary, No Place on Earth, about the survivors’ experiences. Chris also runs the Priest's Grotto Heritage Project, a genocide awareness project which connects the grandchildren of the survivors who lived in Priest's Grotto Cave with the grandchildren of those who lived above the cave. Genealogy Experts available at 1:30PM. This meeting includes announcements and a tip of the month. |
