Sarnowski, a Catholic girl who’s cued white, met octogenarian Alter Weiner when, at age 9, she attended his presentation in Portland, Oregon, about his experiences during the Holocaust and its aftermath. Polish Jewish immigrant Weiner spent years as a teen in Nazi slave labor camps, enduring starvation and nearly being worked to death. After the war, he learned that more than 100 members of his family had been murdered in the concentration camps.
