Join us to recognize and celebrate the life and accomplishments of an often-forgotten hero - Carl Lutz. His humanitarian action is considered the greatest civil rescue operation during the Holocaust. This year marks the 80th anniversary of Carl Lutz’s great feat to save over 60,000 lives from the Holocaust during his tenure as Vice-Consul at the Swiss Embassy in Budapest.
Carl Lutz served as Chancellor at the Swiss Consulate in Philadelphia from 1926 to 1934.
You are invited to the panel and exhibition kick-off honoring him and other diplomats which will be on display at the Arch Street Meeting House starting on December 17.
