Book Signing at St Mary’s Medical Center – Meet the Authors of “They Were Just People”

Friends of St. Mary's Medical Center 
Presentation, Book Signing and Wine and Cheese Reception

Dear Friend of St. Mary's,

You are invited to the Education Center at St. Mary's Medical Center for a fall Friends of St. Mary's event featuring a presentation by Bill Tammeus of the Kansas City Star and Rabbi Jacques Cukierkorn. A book signing and wine and cheese reception follow the presentation.

The event is sponsored by Kansas City Cardiology.

Meet the Authors of "They Were Just People"

Bill Tammeus and Rabbi Jacques Cukierkorn have traveled the U.S. and Poland collecting stories of Jews who survived the Holocaust with the help of non-Jews.

In their new book They Were Just People: Stories of Rescue in Poland During the Holocaust,

they share gripping tales of people who risked their lives and the lives of their families to do what the Nazi occupiers of Poland did not want them to do- save Jews from the Holocaust. These stories raise questions about the human condition and teach vital lessons that can help all of us survive in more humane ways. The stories show that even small acts of kindness sometimes are enough to save lives.
