Remembering the Holocaust: From Generation to Generation

It is important to tell our stories; the stories of where we come from, the stories of our families, and especially stories of the Holocaust. There are lessons to be learned and applied to situations going on right now in the world. We have seen this before. We have lived it. What kind of people are we? and what kind of world do we want for each other?

Thanks to everyone who attended the event at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia. Read more from an article in the Philly Inquirer.

The Importance of Telling Our Family Stories

The Holocaust Awareness Museum and Education Center in partnership with the National Museum of American Jewish History is pleased to present “Telling our Families’ Stories,” in which panelists will be speaking about their personal or families’ experiences before, during, and after the Holocaust and discuss what motivates them to keep the stories alive.
