Lexington Community Education presents Leora Tec, The Persistence of Memory

Never Again. These iconic words have been written and spoken countless times in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Part of the admonition Never Again is Never Forget. Join Leora Tec, daughter of Holocaust survivor and scholar Nechama Tec, for a thought-provoking exploration of how we remember the Holocaust. She will explore who does the remembering, how we remember and why remembering is important, especially given that in a few short years all eyewitnesses to the Holocaust will be gone. Leora looks forward to a lively discussion with audience members after her presentation

Leora Tec is the daughter of Holocaust survivor and Holocaust scholar Nechama Tec. As the founder and director of Bridge To Poland (BTP), Leora creates immersive intellectual and cultural experiences that examine the history of the Jews in Poland and how Christian Poles today are commemorating that history. She views this work as the second generation of her mother’s work on rescue and resistance during the Holocaust. Leora holds a BA from Wellesley College and a JD/LLM from Duke University School of Law.
