Dave the Barber's Stories of Surviving the Holocaust A Yom Ha’Shoah Presentation Featuring Dr. Fred Huss
Ezra-Habonim, the Niles Township Jewish Congregation invites the community to a special Yom Ha’Shoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) program on Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at 7:30 p.m.
Dr. Fred Huss will speak from the perspective of the barber’s chair of his father, David Huss, who spent several harrowing years evading capture by the Nazis and their accomplices.
During the Holocaust, young David learned to cut hair, a skill which helped him survive. He became a beloved barber in Chicago and Skokie. Sitting in his barber’s chair and listening to his stories was an immersive educational experience.
The presentation will feature the chair itself, as well as other tools of Dave the Barber’s trade. The event will take place at the congregation’s location at 4500 Dempster Street, Skokie, Illinois.
Ezra-Habonim, the Niles Township Jewish Congregation invites the community to attend this unique event.
