Holocaust Presentation: "March of the Living"
Speaker: History: “Holocaust Presentation” by Sydney Wolfson: TWO Locations: Monday, May 11 at 1:00 PM at Narberth Borough Hall AND Thursday, May 14 at 1:00 PM at Ashbridge House in Rosemont. Last month, Bryn Mawr native and Harriton High School Senior Sydney Wolfson journeyed to Poland for the annual “March of the Living” a week of Holocaust education and memory that included a literal walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau on April 16, Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day. Over a 10-day period Sydney toured various locations in Poland alongside Holocaust survivor Sami Steigmann, hearing Sami’s tales and seeing for herself the places where those stories took place.
Now, on two separate dates in May, Sydney comes to New Horizons to share Sami’s stories with a new audience and to discuss her own experiences during this year’s march. Join Sydney and New Horizons on May 11 at Narberth Borough Hall and on May 14 at Ashbridge House to learn of the march and its goals, to share personal tales and memories of the Holocaust era, and to reflect on the lessons learned in the aftermath of this tragic time in the world’s history, and how those lessons can be applied today in each person’s daily life.
