Guest Speaker

Gisela Zebroski

Topic “Dateline Berlin: after the war and beyond”

Our speaker for the January 2 2019 meeting is Gisela Zebroski on the topic “Date line Berlin: after the war and beyond”

Ms Zebroski lived in Germany and numerous Eastern European countries during the 40’s through the 60’s. She is a witness to turbulent times in that region, and will relate some of her experiences. Significantly she was on the scene when, in 1948, Stalin challenged the West by blocking all land access routes to the Western zones of Berlin, dooming 2.3 million Berliners to starvation. Over the following 11 months, the Allies airlifted 4.6 billion pounds of supplies into the City. By treating the hungry children of West Berlin to candy (among other supplies), the Allies turned former enemies into friends.

Ms Zebroski expresses a particular fondness for a Lt Halverson of the Airlift, who became known as “the candy bomber”.

Ms Zebroski came to California to earn a degree in Psychology and has written two novels from her experiences.

Next meeting: February 6, 2019
