The series, which will be offered via Zoom webinars, is being co-sponsored by the Holocaust Education Center of the Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center and 3GNJ. Each program will include a question-and-answer segment.

The webinars feature testimonies of resistance from Holocaust survivors and their family members, as well as authors. The scheduled list of speakers includes:

Focusing on the theme of “Resilience and Hope,” the segments address such topics as: How did the survivors get through such a difficult period and manage to go on after those dark days? What perspectives can we learn from their loved ones? The goal is to provide hope for people today who are frightened because of our current challenges.
