The program's opening ceremony begins at 9:30am in the

Warren shares his vivid
memories of Kristallnacht (the Night of Broken Glass) while a child living in
Germany.

Helen experienced Majdanek
concentration camp, escape, and living under an assumed name before relocating

A small child living in Russia during
the Holocaust, Maya and her family fled through the Black Forest and eventually
suffered through a post-war pogrom in Warsaw, Poland.
Thank you for considering these remembrance opportunities. Your presence

on the importance of diversity within our community and world.
