An ecumenical group is sponsoring a holocaust survivor, Anita Dittman, who has written a book entitled, “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell.”

Anita was born in 1927 in Breslau, Germany to a German father and a Jewish mother. In the 1930’s, when Hitler’s control of Germany became stronger, their family was more and more threatened. The father left the family; her sister who was 4 years older, was able to escape to England, leaving only Anita and her mother who ended up in different concentration camps. Her story of how faith got her through is remarkable.

She now lives in Ham Lake, MN and will speak Sunday, April 26 at 2 p.m. at First Lutheran Church in Ellendale. This will be an amazing opportunity to hear her story first hand.
