Event Details
Presented in partnership with the Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center, this powerful program features a firsthand account from our speakers, who are either Holocaust Survivors or children of Survivors, as they share their families' personal experiences before, during, and after the Holocaust. Through personal stories, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust’s impact on individuals and families, and why it is so important to take action against hatred and indifference.
A pop-up museum will also be available for viewing throughout the duration of the program. The Holocaust Museum has taken its renowned exhibit and consolidated it into 17 easily displayed foam panels to teach the timeline of the Holocaust and its aftermath. Also included are mini cases of artifacts and QR code panels featuring testimonies of local Holocaust Survivors.
