Guest Speaker and Book Signing: John Kunz, Holocaust Survivor

A guest speaker presentation and book signing, “A Journey to Freedom: A Polish Family’s Escape from a Nazi Concentration Camp to America” with John Kunz, Holocaust Survivor.
This lecture is part of the exhibition programming connected to both Legacy: The Morton Levin Collection and Reverberations: New Acquisitions to The Square. These exhibitions feature permanent collection artwork by Morton Levin and Willem Volkersz, respectively, that depict experiences in World War II and its aftermath. The public is invited to listen to John Kunz speak about his family’s harrowing story, then explore the galleries and view the artwork through new perspectives.
John Kunz, Holocaust survivor, will share his family’s powerful story of survival. The evening will also feature five posters from “The Courage to Remember” Exhibit depicting the horrors of the Holocaust and the courage and resilience of its victims, originally produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, shown with permission generously granted by Bruce Barrett, a Missoula attorney who previously hosted the collection.
John Kunz was born in a Nazi slave labor concentration camp during World War II. He arrived in the United States as a refugee at age 6 and grew up in Great Falls. John retired from real estate as the Broker/Owner of Coldwell Banker of Great Falls.
