Description

The back side of an invitation to a Las Vegas United Jewish Appeal victory dinner. The printed message reads: "FLASH - featured star on "This Is Your Life" television program to participate in United Jewish Appeal Victory Dinner, Sunday, June 6. We are happy to announce that a most unusual program will be presented at the UJA Victory Dinner, Sunday, June 6, at 6:30 p.m., at the Silver Slipper Ballroom. The life story of this girl was so fascinating that she was picked to appear on the Ralph Edwards' TV show "THIS IS YOUR LIFE." A former prisoner in Hitler's concentration camps, her and her brother's story were so dramatic that they kept millions of viewers glued to their television sets when they program was originally seen over a national network. The program was considered by viewers and critics alike one of the most interesting ever presented on TV. The original version of this emotion-packed TV program will be shown at the meeting, and Mrs. Kohner will relate some of the dramatic experiences which led to her appearance on the show. Remember the date: Sunday, June 6th, 6:30 p.m. Silver Slipper Ballroom." A photo of Hanna Kohner is on the middle of the page.
