since World War II. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum comes together at this somber moment to stand in
solidarity with the Syrian people and let them know they have not been
forgotten.
This commemoration will be held in cooperation with the House Foreign
Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Syrian
survivors will speak and we will receive an update on the risks facing
civilians in Idlib, western Aleppo, Assad detention centers, and
northeastern Syria, as well as the current implementation of justice and
accountability measures.
The event will be available in English and Arabic.

Description:
Esther Safran Foer was born in Poland after World War II to parents who were the sole survivors of their respective families. The Holocaust was constantly in the background of her family life, but it was never discussed. When Esther's son, Jonathan, needed a topic for his college thesis, she suggested he go to Ukraine to seek information about their family. When Jonathan was unable to find anything, he wrote a fictionalized account of his trip, Everything is Illuminated, which became a popular novel and major motion picture. With the novel and movie putting Esther's father's shtetl, Trochenbrod, in the spotlight, Esther received new clues about her family's history. I Want You to Know: We're Still Here follows Esther's quest to uncover her family's past and what it means for the present and future.I Want You to Know: We're Still Here is a finalist for the National Jewish Book Award.This is the fourth program in Voices of Hope's Virtual Winter Series.Register here.
