Lunch@65West invites you to join us when the Union League Club of Chicago and                                                      The Standard Club again welcome Wojciech Soczewica, Director General of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation. Director General Soczewica returns to complete his discussion of the Auschwitz-Birkenau network of 20 camps with club member Michael Traison, a partner with Cullen & Dykman, LLP. Part 1 explored Auschwitz, its buildings, and the events that took place there. Part 2 expands on that with a real-time livestream from Birkenau, a detailed description of its physical plant, and discussion of its role in “The Final Solution.” Advance registration is required, please click on the link below to register: https://ulcc-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nXsaUaffR3SiKajKgQcpsg Please log-on by 10:50 a.m. CDT.
