Description:
In this webinar, Echoes & Reflections is honored to host survivor Marion Blumenthal Lazan, author of Four Perfect Pebbles,
a Scholastic Book recommended for grades 6-12. It was only at
liberation when Holocaust survivors could finally begin to absorb the
enormity of what had befallen them as individuals, as communities, and
as a nation. While the rest of Europe and the US celebrated the end of
the war, the remnants of European Jewry had to somehow pick up the
pieces and rebuild. Marion Blumenthal Lazan will tell her story.
Register here.

history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support

Description:
The Silverman Latin American Institute’s evening program will feature a special film screening and conversation around Holocaust trauma and its’ transmission. Whispers of Silence explores the stories of Holocaust survivors rebuilding their lives in Mexico. Little by little, they begin their difficult process of adaptation to a new culture, language and climate. They begin to work, get married, start families and have children. But the trauma of the Holocaust will always be present in their lives and they transmit it to their children with secrets, fears, traumas, guilt, losses, sadness, nightmares ... through "Whispers of Silence." The program will feature a talk back with filmmakers and content experts Aaron Cohen, Esther Cohen and Miriam Grynberg de Cielak.
This is a bilingual program with interpretation services available in English and Spanish.

Description:
Nothing made sense anymore to 14-year-old Agi Geva by the time she arrived at the Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center with her mother and sister. Still, it was unimaginable that the motion of a guard’s hand could decide whether she lived or died.
Agi, her mother, and her sister ended up surviving four camps together—including Auschwitz twice—enduring forced labor and a death march before being liberated by American troops in April 1945.
SpeakerAgi Geva, Holocaust Survivor and USHMM Volunteer
ModeratorBill Benson, Journalist and Host, First Person: Conversations with Holocaust Survivors
Watch live at youtube.com/ushmm.
You do not need a YouTube account to view USHMM's program. After the
live broadcast, the recording will be available to watch on demand on USHMM's YouTube page.
First Person is a monthly hour-long discussion with a Holocaust
survivor and is made possible through generous support from the Louis
Franklin Smith Foundation, with additional funding from the Arlene and
Daniel Fisher Foundation.
