‘The Flag With Fifty-Six Stars’

At this event, older children and their families can hear a firsthand account of the liberation of a concentration camp at the end of World War II. The program features Alan Moskin, an infantry combat soldier who helped free a subcamp of the Mauthausen complex, and Susan Goldman Rubin, the author of “The Flag With Fifty-Six Stars: A Gift From the Survivors of Mauthausen.” Her book tells the story of the prisoners at Mauthausen who stitched together an American flag as a gift for their liberators, and had erroneously added an extra row of stars.
