Ida Paluch Kersz was born months before WWII broke out and the Nazi soldiers invaded Poland. In 1942 with deportation imminent, Ida was welcomed into a new Polish Christian family. Unfortunately, Ida’s twin brother, Adam, was separated into a different family and the two didn’t know each other’s fate for 53 years. Their unique story of reunion is told in the memoir Unveiled Memories, which is also a documentary. Presented as part of the D.B.

Giving the Gift of Life
A luncheon to kick off a year of organ donations
Thursday, April 18
Noon–1 p.m., Viterbo University Fine Arts Center FSPA Lobby

Ninety-five percent of Americans consider organ donation a good idea, yet only 58% take the steps to register as an organ donor. By registering to be a donor, it’s possible to save lives for up to eight people needing organ transplants and many more with tissue donations. Join Jennifer Livingston, community engagement, Mayo Health System; Tracie Cook, UW Organ and Tissue Donation; and Renee Herbst, BSN, RN, Gundersen Health System, along with local individuals who have received, donated, and/or are waiting for the gift of life.  You’ll learn more about the ins and outs and myths surrounding organ and tissue donation.

This complimentary luncheon is a collaboration among the D.B. Reinhart Institute for Ethics in Leadership, Viterbo University, UW-Health in Madison, UW-La Crosse, Mayo Clinic Health System, and Gundersen Health System and promoted as a Coulee Region Community initiative.

No ticket is necessary but registration is required by emailing Jenny Waters, jtwaters@viterbo.edu. The lecture will also be livestreamed on Facebook at www.facebook.com/viterboethics.
