Of the approximately 159,000 Jews in the Netherlands before World War II, an estimated 25,000 men, women, and children went into hiding, including 3 1/2 year old Leo Ullman.
Mr. Ullman will present his and his family’s personal experiences, which are also chronicled in his book, "796 Days" and a film, "There Were Good People Doing Extraordinary Deeds…Leo Ullman’s Story".
A graduate of Harvard College and Columbia Law School and Business School, Mr. Ullman has had a long and successful career as a lawyer and real estate entrepreneur. Mr. Ullman is profoundly devoted to promoting Holocaust education, including serving many years as Chairman of the Anne Frank Center, USA, and presently as Chairman of the Foundation for the National Holocaust Museum in Amsterdam, Inc.
