Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day): Family-oriented event

Holocaust survivor, Annie Bleiberg, will visit BAS to talk about her experiences during the war -- her life in the Krakow ghetto, how she was hidden by righteous gentiles before being sent to a concentration camp and much more. The whole community is invited.

 

Annie, a friend of Cantor Marcey Wagner, is a docent at the Holocaust Museum of Nassau County and speaks in schools and synagogues all over the metropolitan area. Please come welcome Annie and hear her amazing story.

A light snack will be served just before the program.
 

Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day) Program

The program will also include a performance by The Artemis Chamber Ensemble who will perform works of Hans Krasa, Erwin Shulhoff and Gideon Klein, Jewish composers who were murdered by the Nazis.
