Join the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center for our annual Kristallnacht Commemoration, featuring a candle lighting ceremony, on Sunday, November 10 at 5:30 p.m. at Union Terminal.
Following the candle lighting ceremony, join us for a conversation about Holding Hope: Stories of Survival During the Holocaust, a special photography book project that documents the stories of local Holocaust survivors, some sharing their stories for the first time. The panel includes survivors and project leaders reflecting on how together, we will continue being a voice for the voiceless and remembering for the future. Several of the portraits will be displayed during the program and the Center will share future plans for the project.
Join the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center for a special Hear My Story Gallery Talk with Holocaust survivor Zahava Rendler in our museum at historic Union Terminal on December 8 at 1:30 p.m.
Zahava Rendler was born Golda Feuerberg in Stryi, Poland on March 30, 1941. Zahava and her family hid in an underground bunker until her parents decided it was too dangerous and sent her to live with a Polish woman. The woman, fearing she would be discovered, placed Zahava in a convent where she survived and was found by her father. Zahava will share her story and lessons and discuss her views on the recent rise in antisemitism and what we can do to fight hate and prejudice.
This discussion is part of the Hear My Story Gallery Talk Series, a new in-person, quarterly series that brings the powerful stories of survivors, descendants, and today’s justice-seekers directly into the museum setting. Through immersive long-form interviews, the Hear My Story Gallery Talk Series offers an intimate space to connect with voices of resilience, courage, and humanity. Part of the Cynthia and Harold Guttman Family Center for Storytelling and generously supported by Margaret & Michael Valentine, this program continues the work of sharing and preserving stories that inspire a new generation. Join us each quarter to witness history come to life and leave inspired to make a difference. Want to tune into conversations online in the meantime? Visit our digital series here.
