Archived Site: Jonestown Survivor

Information Concerning this Archived Site

Source: https://jonestownsurvivor.com (Inactive)

This is the archive of a large website of articles and blogs published in conjunction with the book, Jonestown Survivor: An Insider’s Look. The book and all the material in this archive were written by Laura Johnston Kohl, a member of Peoples Temple who survived the tragedy in Jonestown by being in Guyana’s capital city of Georgetown on 18 November 1978.

Following the twentieth anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy, Ms. Johnston Kohl became a prolific writer and active public speaker, work she continued to do until shortly before her death on 19 November 2019. She also made herself available to family members of those who perished in Guyana and scholars who try to understand the calamity of the ending. Finally, she was a generous contributor of articles and remembrances for the Alternative Considerations site, all of which may be found here.

In the interest of preserving the information from her site for future generations of Jonestown scholars and researchers, the managers of this site obtained permission from Laura’s husband Ron Kohl to archive her work in its entirety. Both the archive and the book itself are published with his permission.

2/2015   JONESTOWN SURVIVOR: An Insider's Look, I was delighted to be invited to New York City to appear on the Premier Show of Ben Modo Live. He was a wonderful host who had certainly done his homework. In the five segments, we discussed everything from my Jonestown survival to my activism today, in education, civil rights and immigration rights. It was a great pleasure meeting him, and his whole crew. He survived a difficult immigration from Cameroon, and is pushing for a progressive agenda to provide JOBS. He has certainly been energized by his own experience. What a delight. Here is the link to the show – there are five segments:
