A Guest at the Shooter’s Banquet

Three years ago, Rita Gabis discovered an unthinkable dimension to her family story: from 1941 to 1943, her grandfather had been chief of security police under the Gestapo in the Lithuanian town of Sˇvencˇionys, near the killing field of Poligon, where eight thousand Jews were murdered over three days in 1941.

In 1942, the local Polish population was also hunted down. Learn the compelling, complicated truth about Gabis’ grandfather and what he had done.

Rita Gabis will sign copies of her new book, A Guest at the Shooters’ Banquet: My Grandfather’s SS Past, My Jewish Family, A Search for the Truth, following the event.
