Educational Programming

Who Will Tell their Story: Kristallnacht commemoration program - virtual only. The goal of the program was to educate our youths on the Holocaust with archival video footage and survivors telling their stories. Students the Bernard Zell Day School were interviewed following the footage and survivor stories. The students also have separate study sessions on the Holocaust prior to the program. The program concluded with a candle lighting ceremony and singing of Hatikvah. We partnered with the IL Holocaust Museum on this program, as well as the day school administration.
See attached storyboard. Program included videos and live interviews with survivors and students, moderated by our men's club president and our senior rabbi. Since this was during the pandemic in Nov 2021, we chose to keep the program virtual. We had 70-80 registrants, and were linked with the web sites of both the day school and the IL Holocaust Museum.
