Boaz Munro is a Squirrel Hill, PA native and web designer now living in California with his wife and two daughters. He’s the grandson of Holocaust survivors. In college and graduate school, Boaz studied Modern Middle East History, Hebrew, and Arabic, with time abroad in Israel, Egypt, and Morocco.
Boaz will be speaking about his grandparents, Moshe and Malka Baran, both of whom survived the Holocaust in Poland. Moshe and Malka’s stories embody physical and spiritual resistance respectively; Moshe was a partisan who escaped the ghetto and rescued most of his family, while Malka found herself orphaned by the Nazis and faced the task of finding renewed hope amid uncertainty and loss.
