Born Survivors: In Conversation with Eva Clarke and Wendy Holden

for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Albans Cathedral
Sumpter Yard, St Albans, AL1 1BY, United Kingdom

Join us for a life-affirming story of the human capacity to love under the Peace Doves.

Eva Clarke was born at the gates of Mauthausen concentration camp, Austria, on 29th April 1945 – the day after the gas ran out. She and her mother Anka were the only survivors of their family, 15 members of whom were killed. After the war, the pair settled in the UK.

Bestselling author Wendy Holden will be discussing this unique and inspirational story with Eva Clarke, one of the babies to survive. Now 78, and living in Cambridge, she is a voice of the voiceless and, quite soon, will be among the last ever living survivors of the Holocaust.

St Albans Cathedral

St Albans Cathedral is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain and stands over the place where Alban, Britain's first saint, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago. Down the centuries, countless pilgrims have come to honour the saint’s sacrifice and offer their prayers at his shrine – and they still come in their thousands today.

St Albans Cathedral is open, we look forward to welcoming you very soon. Please visit our website for more information: www.stalbanscathedral.org
