HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR GUEST SPEAKER - EVELYN BANKO

Posted Date: 2/20/25 (5:42 PM)

We were honored to welcome Ms. Evie Banko as a special guest speaker on February 12th. Ms. Banko is a Holocaust survivor, who immigrated to Portland with her parents as a child and who has lived there ever since. She has dedicated her life to Holocaust education, and she traveled with her daughter, a retired Portland Public Schools teacher, to South Eugene HS to speak to a group of IHS students about her life and experiences as a survivor. Space was limited, but here is a video of the presentation for you to watch.
