SUMMARY:A Holocaust Survivor's Story
DESCRIPTION:Location: Ocean County Historical Society\nThe Ocean County Historical Society welcomes Arthur Spielman\, who will speak about how he survived the Holocaust. Arthur was born in 1928 in Krakow\, Poland.  He grew up in an Orthodox Jewish family with his father\, mother and two sisters. Although his family was not required to move into the Krakow ghetto because his father was an international diplomat\, the Spielman family chose to move to live closer to their extended family. Arthur Spielman’s family briefly lived in the Krakow ghetto before the liquidation process in Krakow began. As Arthur’s father became aware of the final solution\, the family separated and was smuggled out of Poland first to Slovakia and eventually to Hungary. In 1942 Arthur’s grandparents were picked up by the Gestapo and Arthur never saw them again. \nArthur was interviewed by Stephen Speilberg for Schindler’s List and also by the Holocaust Museum in Washington DC. He has spoken to many groups and believes very strongly in making sure the truth of the Holocaust experience stays alive in our collective memories. \nThis event takes place at our museum at 26 Hadley Avenue in Toms River.  Our speaker series is free\, but donations are greatly appreciated.SEATING IS LIMITED! To reserve your seat\, send your name\, zip code\, email address\, and the date of the program to oceancountyhistory.programs@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Women of the American Revolution

TJ will talk about the lives and stories of the ladies of the American Revolution. \nTJ’s journey into history started as a socially distanced hobby during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Furloughed from his job\, Fallon began visiting local cemeteries to escape cabin fever\, which quickly turned into an obsession with American history. He set an ambitious goal to visit the gravesites of every U.S. President. He drove over 60\,000 miles through 34 states and completed the feat of visiting all 39 presidential graves (noting that a few are lost to history or inaccessible). His passion grew to include the resting places of all 34 Vice Presidents\, 53 of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence\, and all 39 signers of the Constitution. TJ also offers a popular presentation on famous crime scene sites including locations associated with John F. Kennedy’s assassination\, the In Cold Blood murders\, and other infamous crimes throughout history. \nThis event takes place at our museum at 26 Hadley Avenue in Toms River. There is no charge\, but donations are greatly appreciated.

This includes Newark being buried in 26 inches of snow on December 26\, 1947\, a record-setting nor’easter on January 22\, 2016 which unleashed sixty-mile-per-hour wind gusts\, six-foot snow drifts\, and snowfall depths of thirty inches in Bernards Township and Long Valley\, and the so-called Great White Hurricane of 1888.
