How the Paper Brigade Worked to Save Jewish Treasures from the Nazis

The Jewish Genealogical Society of the Conejo Valley and Ventura County (JGSCV) will hold a meeting on Sept 15 1:30-3:30 PM. The Paper Brigade was a group of Jews in the Vilna Ghetto tasked by the Nazis to sort through Jewish artifacts for their supposed “Museum of an Extinct Race.” This group hid many of these artifacts in the building or smuggled so that some aspects of Jewish culture would survive. Alix Wall, freelance writer, will talk about her grandmother one of Paper Brigade members.
