Survivors & Victims' Families Gather

A special gathering was held on the sixty-first anniversary of the Winecoff fire. Survivors, eyewitnesses and the families of the fire's victims and survivors met in the Carnegie Room in the Ellis Hotel on Friday December 7, 2007. The Ellis is the newly refurbished facility located in the old Winecoff Hotel building at 176 Peachtree St. in Atlanta.

Several reunions and remembrances have been held before and they always provide the attendees with answers to nagging questions and a sense of closure for those still affected by the tragic fire. Read an account of this moving event here.
