Understanding the importance of those who represent living history in society, Casteel Coffee is sponsoring a TV program featuring Holocaust survivor and step sister of Anne Frank, Eva Schloss. Author of two books and a renowned international speaker, Eva provides an inspiring 55 minute interview that will be broadcast during the week of September 21 on the Illinois Channel.
This information is also found via http://www.illinoischannel.org/distribution.html.
Notes Casteel Coffee owner, Carol Harris, "With 15 years as Evanston's coffee roaster, we have been very aware of the many people and their families in our community who have been affected by the Holocaust. By underwriting this unique TV program, we hope viewers will have the opportunity to understand Eva's experiences in her own words, and enable cross cultural and religious tolerance as well as remembrance."
If you would like to view this 55 minute interview to your group on your own premises, Casteel Coffee is pleased to present this program to you in DVD format as a community service. A suggested donation by those who attend will enable the purchase of signed copies of Eva's book The Promise for free distribution to religious, educational and community groups throughout Chicago and the North Shore.
