Lunch and Learn

Join us for a moving and unforgettable program as Steve Gans shares the extraordinary story of his father, Werner Gans, in “A Life Well Lived: How a Gifted 15-Year-Old and His Cello Helped His Family Find Their Way to America—and Helped Win WWII.” From his youth in Germany to his courageous journey to a new life in America, Werner’s story weaves together resilience, talent, and the enduring power of music. This remarkable account not only reflects one family’s survival and triumph but also offers a poignant reminder of the ways individual gifts can shape history.
