She will speak about her experiences growing up after the tragedy of losing her family\, but her message is being a survivor and not a victim. She is a mother to four sons and a grandmother to four girls. She travels throughout New England to share her message of hope\, survival\, and triumph over evil. Her optimism leaves her audiences energized to stand up\, fight against hate\, and improve their world. \nKati Preston was born in Hungary in 1939\, the only child born to a Jewish father and a Catholic mother. Twenty-eight members of Kati’s Jewish family perished in Auschwitz. After successful careers as a journalist\, international fashion designer\, EMT\, and owner of an educational theater company\, Kati realized that what matters most is sharing her story of survival in order to educate others of the devastating consequences of hate and prejudice. Recently\, she was honored with the Susan J. Herman award for leadership in Holocaust and Genocide Awareness as well as the UNH Age of Champions Inspirational Award. Kati has written a book about her life called “Holocaust to Healing: Closing the Circle” available on Amazon to purchase and bring with you to be signed. \nAdmission is $5.00 for members and $10.00 for non-members. \nOnline reservations are no longer being accepted\, please call 603-569-1212 to check availability. Museum doors open at 6pm program begins at 7pm. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:"When You Ride Alone\, You Ride with Hitler": Reconsidering the World War II Rationing Programs in the 21st Century

Please use the form below or call 603-569-1212 for reservations as seated is limited. Museum doors open at 6pm program begins at 7pm. \n[wpforms id=”6602″] \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]

SUMMARY:Code Talker: The First and Only Memoir by One of the Original Navajo Code Talkers of WWII
DESCRIPTION:[et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”section” _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-24px|||-77px|false|false” custom_padding=”24px||54px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row admin_label=”row” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|||9px|false|false” custom_padding=”|0px||28px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”] \nLecture and book signing by author Judy Avila – Program is full\, reservations are no longer being accepted.\nDuring World War II\, the Japanese had managed to crack every code the United States used. But when the Marines turned to its Navajo recruits to develop and implement a secret military language\, they created the only unbroken code in modern warfare—and helped assure victory for the United States over Japan in the South Pacific. One of those “Code Talkers” was Chester Nez. That was the English name he was assigned in kindergarten. And in boarding school he was punished for speaking his native language\, as the teachers sought to rid him of his culture and traditions. But discrimination didn’t stop Chester from defending his country after Pearl Harbor\, for the Navajo have always been warriors\, and his upbringing on a New Mexico reservation gave him the strength—both physical and mental—to excel as a marine. \nAfter growing up in New York and New Hampshire\, Avila has made New Mexico\, with its wonderful diversity of cultures\, her home. She worked as a social worker\, an artist\, an air traffic controller\, and a computer consultant before finally discovering writing. As a storyteller\, Avila hopes that her characters become fast friends with her reader.  Avila will be joined by Chester’s oldest grandson Latham Nez. \nBooks will be available to purchase. \n  \n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
