PCS-HC Virtual Survivor Speaks FY20_eblast graphic.jpg

Survivor Speaks

Tuesday, June 9, 3:30-4:30 p.m.

Survivor Speaks is a program that brings eyewitnesses to the Holocaust to schools and other organizations across the community, enabling students of all ages to hear, first hand, the stories of these individuals. It has proven to be an important and meaningful experience for both the speaker and the audience, but has been unavailable to many until now.

Now that this program has been adapted to work in a new, online forum, we realized we could open it up to the entire Greater MetroWest community.

Join us to hear from Hanna Wechsler who was born in a small town in Poland in 1936 and found herself, after years of running and hiding, packed in a cattle car headed to Auschwitz in 1944. Her survival is largely due to her mother’s bravery and selflessness. Hanna has dedicated her life to educating youth about the horrors of the Holocaust. Her message of overcoming adversity is particularly poignant right now.

Zoom information will be provided upon registration.
