coming events

yom ha’Shoah holoCauSt memorial program Our annual Holocaust Memorial Program honors local survivors and commemorates the Holocaust. The program features Dr. Bernd Wollschlaeger, the son of a highly decorated Nazi officer, who grew up in Germany and struggled with his father’s role in the Holocaust. Ultimately he converted to Judaism, immigrated to Israel and served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a medical officer. Additionally, we will honor this year’s recipient of the Holocaust Educator of the Year Award.
