While most people are aware of the historical importance of the Holocaust, the true impact is more than statistics and factual data. It’s the personal stories of survivors, liberators and witnesses which tell the deeply moving story, illustrating the effect on individuals, families and communities, both at the time and for generations to come.
UC Blue Ash College is joining with The Center for Holocaust Humanity Education to present “Stories from the Holocaust,” featuring four personal stories. The event will be held Thursday, April 19, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Muntz Hall theater on the college campus at 9555 Plainfield Road, Blue Ash. A reception will immediately follow in the college library.
Featured speakers include: Holocaust survivor Werner Coppel; liberator Lt. Saul Marmer; and second generation witnesses Ray Warren and Sandy Kaltman. The event will be moderated by Sarah Weiss, director of The Center for Holocaust and Humanity Education.
The event, which is free and open to the public, is being held in honor of the Holocaust Remembrance Day and is supported by the UCBA European Studies program.
