SUMMARY:MJH | Yom HaShoah Survivor Testimony
DESCRIPTION:In commemoration of Yom HaShoah\, Holocaust Remembrance Day\, the Museum of Jewish Heritage invites you to a special public program featuring survivor and Speakers Bureau member\, Celia Kener. This annual observance calls on us to remember the lives lost and honor the stories of those who survived. Hearing testimony is one of the most meaningful ways to mark the day.\nBorn in 1935 in Lvov\, Poland\, Celia was just a young child when the German invasion in 1941 shattered her family’s world. Her father was drafted into the Russian army\, and Celia\, her mother\, and extended family were forced into the ghetto. When her mother was selected for a labor camp\, weekend visits became their only points of connection. Fearing she might not survive\, Celia’s mother made the agonizing decision to place her daughter with a childless Catholic couple who could protect her.\nMs. Kener will share her story\, followed by audience Q&A.\nThis program is recommended for Grades 8 through adult and offers an opportunity to engage with history through first-person testimony on this day of remembrance.\nTo register\, click here.&nbsp\;
