DRAWINGS THAT SURVIVE - a Holocaust Film by Jeffery B. Giesener Art that survived the Holocaust, Holocaust Art that is contemporary, paying tribute to #NeverAgain. And with a special presentation by the late Thomas Geves Z'l assisted by his daughter Yifat Cohn-Meir. Thomas wrote The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz.An inspiring true story of hope and survival, this is the testimony of a boy who was imprisoned in Auschwitz, Gross-Rosen, and Buchenwald and recorded his experiences through words and color drawings.In June 1943, after long years of hardship and persecution, thirteen-year-old Thomas Geve and his mother were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Separated upon arrival, he was left to fend for himself in the men’s camp of Auschwitz I.During 22 harsh months in three camps, Thomas experienced and witnessed the cruel world of Nazi concentration and death camps. Nonetheless, he never gave up the will to live. Miraculously, he survived and was liberated from Buchenwald at the age of fifteen.While still in the camp and too weak to leave, Thomas felt a compelling need to document it all, and drew over eighty drawings, all portrayed in simple yet poignant detail with extraordinary accuracy. He not only shared the infamous scenes, but also the day-to-day events of life in the camps, alongside inmates' manifestations of humanity, support and friendship.To honor his lost friends and the millions of silenced victims of the Holocaust, in the years following the war, Thomas put his story into words. Despite the evil of the camps, his account provides a striking affirmation of life.The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz, accompanied by 56 of his color illustrations, is the unique testimony of young Thomas and his quest for a brighter tomorrow.TRIGGER WARNING: The film contains Holocaust art that may trigger Intergenerational Survivor Trauma or PTSD symptoms. Please be advised and take caution.

LET ME TEAR OFF YOUR STAR - A Holocaust Story Of French Resistance -- film by Jeffery B. Giesener The moving story of the Kochavi family during the Holocaust. First, Judith and Israel Kochavie departed from Lithuania for Palestine in the mid-1910s. From there, they moved to Kolmar, France, before the Second World War. Dr. Daniel Kochavi was born in Kolmar, France, in 1938 and survived the war in hiding.The Nazis invaded France, where Daniel's mother, Judith, shortly after, entered the French Resistance. She hid Jewish families in her apartment while also acting as a courier for the Resistance. To protect Daniel, only about age 3, she hid Daniel in a Catholic girls ' boarding school as the administrator's son. Since Daniel's father and mother were living under British passports from their stay in the British Mandate, Palestine, his father was rounded up and detained in a Nazi detention center outside of Paris. And so their amazing Holocaust story goes. You won't want to miss the three stories of the Kochavi family, narrated by Holocaust Survivor Dr. Daniel Kochavi.

Barbarossa's Closet a film by Jeffery B. Giesener with Keith Morgan author of Ruta's ClosetRuta’s Closet tells the compelling Holocaust story of a Jewish family, imprisoned in the tiny Shavl ghetto in Lithuania.The Kron family survived the horror of the Nazi regime, thanks to the resourcefulness of Meyer and Gita Kron and the bravery of their rescuers. While Ruta’s Closet is based on fact, it reads like fiction. The drama of the events described and the richness of the characters make it a compelling work of narrative nonfiction—as intriguing as it is inspirational.The Krons are the focus but horrific events in the ghetto are also revealed, including mass murders, a Nazi ban on births, the removal of all children to the Auschwitz gas chambers. All dreadful events; but accounts of brave rescues and daring acts offer hope for humanity.Ruta's Closet is also the focus of a Holocaust awareness podcast series, available from all popular platforms. High School teachers can also download a teacher's guide and classroom activities recommendations, authored by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. Adult readers can download Book Club Talking Points, also written by VHEC. Both guides, along with additional informative audio and text material, are hosted at the book's interactive website, rutascloset.com.TRIGGER WARNING: The film contains Holocaust art that may trigger Intergenerational Survivor Trauma or PTSD symptoms.

GENERATIONS APART: WHAT WE CARRY...! a film by Jeffery B. Giesener This is Jeffery Giesener, Founder of Jewish Culture and Holocaust & October 7 and Stand Against HATE International Communities and creator and producer of GENERATIONS APART: WHAT WE CARRY....! Thanks for joining us for my latest film release for our Fall 2024 International Film Festival. GENERATIONS APART: WHAT WE CARRY...! The documentary film offers a profoundly emotive review of Intergenerational Survivor Trauma, PTSD challenges, and The Science Of Epigenics. It is a must-see for anyone dealing with any or all of the above issues. For years, I thought I was all alone and didn't know why I would have recurring Nazi/Holocaust nightmares as both of my Survivor parents NEVER spoke about their Shoah experiences and never presented any signs of outward trauma. No screaming or impatience. No outer disturbances. Yes, like other Holocaust survivors, they only wanted the best for their children (my sister and me), but they never spoke about their Holocaust experiences. They only offered us a loving home environment. I knew my parents were different, and I didn't have most of their relatives. There was only one Grandmother on my father's side, who lived in London, England, and whom I only saw once in a few years growing up. But what about and why all those years of nightmares and traumas that can be traced back to the fifth grade? My Mom was a survivor of Auschwitz; she would never ever speak to anyone about her experiences. That discussion was VERBOTEN! She was also blocked from reaching British Mandate Palestine by the British in 1947, when their ship Tierse, sailing from Italy to Palestine carrying about 2,000 other survivors, was turned away from the Port of Tel Aviv and rerouted to Cyprus. She spent another horrid year there. My Dad escaped Nazi Berlin at only the age of 15, being placed on the last Kindertransport from the Hadassah Aliyot program out of Berlin with 100 other Berliner teenagers in 1935, just a couple of months after The Nuremberg Laws were passed and were being enforced. His destination was Palestine and Port Haifa, where he arrived alone in 1936 and lived at Kibbutz Yagur. Dad also fought in the War of Independence in the Hagenah Air Force at 28 in 1948. He met Mom on the Golden Beech in Tel Aviv, and they were married in Tel Aviv in 1950. They were sponsored to come to America in 1954, pregnant with my sister, and I was born there in 1958. It wasn't until 2019 when I was introduced to a second-generation Survivor Group in San Diego Generations of the Shoah Group in San Diego, CA, USA, that I realized I wasn't alone and that others also suffered and were continuing to suffer as I have. Wow! This was a game-changer. WORD OF CAUTION and a TRIGGER WARNING: Some of the scenes in the film may be disturbing to some, as this film contains Holocaust Content, video, photos, and discussions about Intergenerational Survivors' Trauma, PTSD, and Epigenetic Science. Caution is advised, and the film is for Mature Audiences 13 and older. Jeffery B.

THE WAY OUT...WORK - The Lodz Ghetto Story Created and Produced by Jeffery B. Giesener The Jewish Culture and Holocaust & October 7th Remembrance - STAND AGAINST HATE! International Communities presents the documentary film... THE WAY OUT...WORK: The Lodz Ghetto Story. “THE ONLY WAY OUT was the slogan of Chaim Rumkowski, the head of the ghetto’s Council of Jewish Elders, who were entrusted with setting up a model economy in the Lodz Ghetto. The Lodz Ghetto was enclosed by barbed wire on April 30, 1940, imprisoned over 250,000 Jews, with the population later increased by 20,000 Jews from Germany, Bohemia, and Austria and by 18,000 from towns around Lodz. In increasingly overcrowded and filthy conditions, the Jewish workers were forced to manufacture a wide array of items for Germany’s home-front market and for the armed forces, including Concentration Camp uniforms. After the Holocaust, only 877 Jews survived the Ghetto. Two that did survive both the Lodz Ghetto and Auschwitz were the parents of Mark H. Newhouse, our guest presenter, along with his son, a 3rd Generation Survivor, Keith Newhouse. Keith interviews his father as a core component of the film. Keith provides a lively and thorough interview of Mark H. Newhouse, the author of the historical fiction trilogy novel The Devil's Bookkeepers. Mark has based his historical fiction trilogy on the authentic, signed "Chronicle of the Lodz Ghetto" that his parents brought to America from Poland after the Holocaust. Mark used the Chronicle as part of his book research. Was Rumkowski complicit in helping the Nazis deport and exterminate over 20,000 Jewish children, babies, the elderly, and the sickly in selections and deportations to Chemlo and Auschwitz Extermination Camps? That is for you to judge as you watch the film? Like all of the Jews from the Lodz Ghetto, when Rumkowski was no longer helpful to the NAZIS, he was deported to Auschwitz. It is alleged that Rumkowski was murdered by Jewish SonderKomandos in the Auschwitz Crematorium. Keith's terrific, well-researched interview with Mark is the foundation of "THE ONLY WAY OUT film along with actual footage of the Lodz Ghetto and its history. You will also be toured around Lodz today and through the use of photos and historical film clips from 1940-1945 you will be transported back in time. Special Thanks To ZOLA - (Zola Shuman) for contributing her music to the film's soundtrack. Zola is an active member of our International JCHR107 Community. . A word of caution and a TRIGGER WARNING!

The Jewish Culture and Holocaust and October 7th Remembrance International Community, JCHRnow.circle.so our companion website and STAND AGAINST HATE! Community Presents: THE HOPE: GOLDA Looking back on our Jewish History often provides a unique perspective and a better understanding of what is happening today. When you watch THE HOPE: GOLDA, a documentary film about one of the most potent, empathetic, and iron-fisted women of the 20th Century. You will leave the film with new insight into Golda Mier, how she impacted Israel during her lifetime, and how her influence continues over what is happening in Israel today. Her personal history, rise to power, ascendancy to the Prime Minister of Israel, the very first woman PM, and its last, to date, provide us with tremendously interesting stories. You can find GOLDA, the feature film for rent, on YouTube at • Golda A word of caution. The subject matter in this film is for mature audiences. The photos, video, recordings, music, pictures, and content of this film may be disturbing to some who suffer, like I do, from Intergenerational Survivor Trauma or PTSD disorders.

The Jewish Culture and Holocaust/10.7 Remembrance International Community, JCHRnow.circle.so and THE ONE REVOLUTION: STAND AGAINST HATE! Community Presents: AHEAD OF TIME: The Ruth Gruber Story Thanks for watching the Trailer for another of our 2024 International Film Festival programs entitled... AHEAD OF TIME is a documentary film about the Ruth Gruber story. It is PART ONE, including a history lesson, interviews with Ruth Gruber, historical footage, and commentary from the 1930s and 40s. All Programs Are Absolutely Free On-Demand You'll enjoy a historically exciting discussion and the companion dramatic feature film, which features Ruth Gruber, one of the world’s most outstanding journalists and Photojournalists of the 20th Century. During this discussion, Ruth provides riveting personal accounts of her experiences in Hitler’s Germany during the 1930s and 40s, along with important historical footage of virulent US antisemitism that was rampant during this period of our history. Proving that Antisemitism has happened many times before in our history. BUT WE SURVIVE. The challenge for all current voting generations today is what to do about it. It is time to exercise your VOTE to save American Democracy! We face an existential threat to our way of life. Haven dramatically reveals how Ruth Gruber bravely helped save more than 1000 Jews from Holocaust Germany in 1944. It also includes scenes of the first US Internment Camp in Oswego, New York, USA, where these Jews were forced to live as guests of Rosevelt but without any rights or state status. They were to be sent back to Germany before Truman granted US citizenship status. The film stars Natasha Richardson as Ruth, Hal Holbrook, and Anne Bancroft among a stellar cast. I know you will enjoy it. A word of caution. The subject matter in this film is for mature audiences. The photos, video, recordings, music, pictures, and content of this film may be disturbing to some who suffer, like I do, from Intergenerational Survivor Trauma or PTSD disorders.

Please subscribe to the JCHR107 YouTube Media Channel and Share This Video Widely, ThganksThe Together Plan trains communities and their leaders to conceive, plan, and run activities & and events, pass on their skills to others, and work to preserve the past. The past is the key to understanding the present and planning for the future. The charity’s heritage work uses our shared history to unite and engage community members. Projects include recovering lost Jewish headstones, as in the current project in Brest, in the south of Belarus, and translating and publishing in English never-before-seen memoirs written by survivors of the Minsk Ghetto. The Together Plan also provides for the present through their aid and mutual assistance project - Aid Together, where they collect, sort, and send clothes, shoes, toys, stationery, computers, educational resources, and Judaica to needy communities. With the help of their dedicated team of volunteers, The Together Plan’s project is unique in transforming a culture of dependency into one of community volunteering and engagement. The Together Plan transcends borders and builds close relationships with the communities where they work to understand their unique needs and help them connect with like-minded individuals and organizations worldwide. By overcoming their isolation, communities and their members rebuild trust, develop friendships, and benefit from diverse support and expertise. We encourage members to put their new skills into practice as volunteers in orphanages, shelters, and wider society. The charity turns survival into revival. After the devastation of the Holocaust and the 50 subsequent years of communism, The Together Plan is helping to support Jews in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe who are yearning to re-discover Jewish life. Reconnecting with a shared identity and heritage unites, empowers, and offers direction to communities and their leaders. This has led to The Together Plan’s initiative to create community dialogue around heritage and identity and is the foundation of an exciting program in partnership with AEPJ Jewish Heritage.

HI, JEFFERY GIESENER - FOUNDER OF THE JEWISH CULTURE AND HOLOCAUST/10 7 REMEMBRANCE and THE ONE REVOLUTION COMMUNITIES ON JCHRNOW.circle.so and JCHR107 FACEBOOK. - February 2024 JOIN US for our next THE ONE REVOLUTION Brainstorming Live ZOOM EVENT on April 3rd at 12 noon ET, 9 AM PT and 7 PM Israel Time. Check the time in your area. RSVP Invite along with recording https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regis... Let me share that I am working on curating and producing a series of programs for the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance International Community (now over 20,000 annual users) in the Fall of 2024 and continuing through 2025. The series title is It’s Time For... THE ONE REVOLUTION Over the last several months, I have been doing my research and due diligence on this topic looking at the issues from many perspectives and political angles. The idea is to eventually build a new innovative digital platform designed for the world's youth to learn Not To Hate or Bully. or Deny Genocide. As you can see the idea is to go bigger than just Jew Hatred. To me, this is already a non-starter. We need to crack the brains of our youth K5 through college age and approach the roots of hate differently and not make it religion-specific. We are looking for colleagues to help me bring this platform to fruition. I will build the platform from the digital infrastructure I have built for our Community over the last three years. This includes JCHRnow.com which I own and manage the technology build. No Big Brother denies us what we can do as Facebook does. I have a team of 3rd party developers who are experts in community-based digital solutions. I will be funding this development personally. NOW WE ARE LOOKING TO FORM A LARGER TEAM OF THOSE ALIGNED WITH MY THINKING FROM ACROSS MY INTERNATIONAL NETWORK AND TIE INTO WHAT JIM COLLINS IN HIS WRITING GOOD TO GREAT CALLED BEHAG IDEAS. BIG EXTREME HAIRY AUDACIOUS GOALS. ESSENTIALLY ONLY BIG IDEAS. The idea here is not to spend time on the why’s or how's of how we got here with Antisemitism or who is to blame etc. but to come up with NEW INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS that will push back on the scaling international growth of Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial, so our children have an alternative to what the propaganda machine has been shouting at them and their absorption for the last twenty-five years. And I would be honored if you would like to be part of a virtual team sharing ideas in this regard. As I said, there will be no ask for money other than your time spent thinking and sharing ideas, which is incredibly valuable to me.

Only Hope : Better Tomorrows Feb 18, 2024 Jewish Culture and Holocaust/10.7 Remembrance Community JCHRnow.circle.so We welcome Esther Gilbert, wife of the late Sir Martin Gilbert (world-renowned Holocaust Historian) for her third annual presentation to the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Community. Esther will present Where Jewish History and Geography Collide with two of Sir Martin's well-known atlases, the Routledge Atlas of the Holocaust, with a Foreword by David Patterson, and the Jewish History Atlas, which has a Foreword by the late former Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, both atlases newly updated by Esther. The Routledge Atlas of the Holocaust has Sir Martin's text and new maps of deportation routes, camp layouts, and former ghetto towns. These will be helpful for those who travel to these areas or study them at home or in school. The Routledge Atlas of Jewish History: Travel through Jewish history - this atlas has been completely redesigned including maps of former and historic Jewish communities in Arab and Muslim lands and in the former Soviet Union. Presenting with Esther are Jo Sorochinsky and Jes Heppler Jo Sorochinsky author of “Dancing With My Father” Does a child have the right to know a parent’s history? Does the key to one’s identity lie within that history? Raised as a Catholic in Ireland and Canada, the author of Dancing With My Father thought so as she probed her father’s past, at a loss to understand why he spent so much of his life hiding and fearing it. After all, he painted his early years in Vienna as filled with light and music. Decades passed before he would talk about the dark side that he had left behind in Vienna, when he fled alone, as a teenager, to Ireland in 1939. Though he finally broke open the secrets of his history, was he ever able to see himself in the enormity of those times and forgive himself? Jes Heppler - On the Path to Portuguese Citizenship, I Uncovered My Sephardic History When Portugal announced it would end the opportunity for Sephardic naturalization, I dropped everything to trace back nine generations of my family.

Soundscapes of Serenity: Music for Inner Healing Trauma Support Havurah - JCHR107 & JCHRnow.circle.so with music from Zola Shuman, Judith Tellerman, Jacqueline, and Yael Gmach and repeat performance by Peter Yarrow co-producer with Jaqueline Shima Gmach of We Are The Tree Of Life - Carry On. Jews have cherished music for centuries. For some, music acts as an escape from pain or can evoke deep feelings of joy. Others see music as a necessity, something that helps them understand difficult feelings and allows them the ability to express themselves. Regardless of how music makes us feel, it is something that we are all affected by. As a result, music can be used as a therapeutic technique to help us process challenging, traumatic, or even joyful experiences.

JCHRnow.com International Film Festival - Peter Yarrow highlights... "We Are The Tree Of Life- CARRY ON" with Jacqueline Shema Gmach - Producer Recorded Wednesday, Jan 10th. Peter Yarrow highlights...“We are the Tree of Life - Carry On,” with Producer Jacqueline Shema Gmach and Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary will present a feature-length film focusing on Holocaust education utilizing the arts to promote a message of hope and survival. Literature, music, dance, poetry, and drawings created by prisoners in the concentration camps and ghettos during World War II, show that beauty can survive, even when experiencing unspeakable horrors. Producer Jacqueline Shema Gamach and friends will join the Film Event including Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary who will sing for us. Jackie adds, “The Film demonstrates that all of us can overcome and that the human spirit is irrepressible.” Some of the prisoners of the camps and ghettos found their humanity and self-worth in the arts, dancing secretly at night, drawing or painting pictures, and playing music, Gmach told the Chronicle. “Their talents, their works, are today a message of survival, hope and resiliency,” she said. In small and quiet moments, prisoners of the Third Reich clung to the joy of “creating” so that their spirits could stay alive, she said. In her mission to combat hate and spread hope and love through the arts, Gmach stresses the importance of educating young people about crimes against humanity. As founder and creative director of We are the Tree of Life - Carry On, she urges educators to promote “acceptance” rather than just “tolerance.” Program Curated and Produced by Jeffery Giesener - Founder of the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance International Community.

These are the recipes they share with you. Culinary icons such as Michael Solomonov, Jonathan Waxman, Ina Garten, and more contribute their recipes as a tribute to the remarkable survivor community.

Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance JCHRnow.com and JCHR Facebook Group presents... From Generation to Generation L'Dor V'Dor with musical introduction... Musical Intro - 10 min With Authors:  Joan Gluckauf Haahr  Prisoners of Memory: A Jewish Family from Nazi Germany, In her recently published book, Prisoners of Memory: A Jewish Family from Nazi Germany, Joan Gluckauf Haahr realized her lifelong ambition to uncover the details behind the bare statistics in German archives and historical records about her German Jewish family, both those who perished and those who survived the Nazi regime.  The daughter of German Jewish refugees, she inherited more than 1,500 letters and hundreds of photographs from her mother which — supplemented by more than twenty years of research  — became the basis of this intimate study of what happened to her family and their world. Mirla Raz The Birds Sang Eulogies In the mid-1990s Mirla Geclewicz Raz videotaped her parent's Holocaust experiences. Years later, their riveting stories were memorialized in the book The Birds Sang Eulogies: A Memoir. Daniel Geslewitz, nee Gedalia Geclewicz, survived the Lodz Ghetto, Auschwitz, and 6 subsequent concentration camps. Barely alive on May 2, 1945, he was liberated by American soldiers. Mirla's mother's survival trajectory began when Hitler broke his pact with Stalin. Anna Geslewitz, nee Charlota Gersten, survived the Lvov Ghetto. She obtained papers as a Catholic and fled to Germany where she worked as a maid in a German household. During the German retreat, she was forced to dig trenches for the retreating German army. Liberated in January 1945, she made her way back to Lvov. Refusing to stay in Poland, Anna moved to Luneburg, Germany where she met Daniel.

Abe and Miriam Mizliach are interviewed for the Obligations Of Memory L'Dor V'Dor Interview Series recorded 11.10.2022 Interviewer: Jeffery Giesener Recorded: 11.10.2022 Abe and Miriam share common memories of their parent's childhood in Greece and Poland respectively. Both Abe and Miriam are Second Generation Survivors. The stories they share demonstrate the strength and resistance of their parents and their ability to not only survive but thrive in the United States. Abe and Miriam met each other in a 2G Shoah Group in CA and have been married for more than 30 years. They share stories of growing up in Survivors' homes and their relationships with their siblings.

Another lovely and enjoyable Obligations of Memory L'Dor V'Dor interview with both Abe and Miriam as we bond over the fact that we are all second-generation survivors.

Episode 3 for The Obligations Of Memory Podcast Network L'Dor V'Dor Interview Series Randi was raised in Beverly Hills, California, the youngest child of Holocaust survivors. My mother's greatest gift to me was her positive outlook in difficult and trying times —something that's helped me throughout my life. After attending UC Santa Barbara, I received my BA in Journalism from the University of Southern California and a Master of Science Management degree from Boston University. I was an Art Director in Los Angeles and Chicago, owned an art and frame Gallery in Israel, and worked in public relations before marrying and having a family. Like Alix, the main character in my memoir, Beverly Hills Concentration Camp, I had a life altering experience. One day in 2008, while driving to visit my mother, I turned my head to the left and heard a noise in my head. I thought nothing more about it, until I woke up the next day unable to move. Doctors told me I'd never be able to use my left arm again unless I had surgery within a week to place metal disks in my neck. But something inside told me I was supposed to go in a different direction. The direction I chose — alternative healing — would forever change my life. My personal healing journey, working through all the layers of trauma and disappointment, taught me many tools I still use in my life today. I began training as a healer and Shaman and discovered that healing others not only helped me heal but came naturally. I now believe I went through all that distress because I was meant to help others get through their own challenges. Today I continue to expand my skills as a Healer, while continuing to help others dive deep into extraordinary energy, joy and wellness.I live in Los Angeles with my husband and two children. The interview was conducted on August 11, 2022 for the Obligations Of Memory Podcast Network by Jeffery Giesener - Founder of the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Group on Facebook/YouTube Video Channel /Spotify/Amazon/Apple/YouTube and Google Podcasts.

From the Wolfs’ comfortable upper-class life to imprisonment, daring escapes, tragic deaths, cloak-and-dagger adventures, and Ervin’s final escape to freedom in the dead of night. Almost half a million Jewish Hungarians are deported to Auschwitz. Among the few surviving Hungarian Jews from this era were young men who, like Ervin Wolf, were forced into the brutal Labor Service where they were cut off from the outside world and forced to endure inhumane brutalities and servitude. Once freed, a new oppression took hold as communist rule under Stalin turned friends to foes, enveloped the nation in fear and suspicion, and tested everyone’s character and strength…Hungary, 1944 Jenna Zark – Crooked Lines: A Single Mom's Jewish Journey While trying to sort out the answer to this question along with the question of what being Jewish meant to her-Zark began writing. This book was born of the journey. Married to the cantor of a Jewish synagogue, trying to fit into a life she hadn't anticipated, Jenna is completely unprepared when her marriage falls apart. Now staring down the prospect of being a single mom, Jenna has to decide if and how to work with her former husband, now co-parent, to give her son a Jewish heritage. While the holidays and rituals in these pages are Jewish, the theme is universal and familiar to anyone who has ever experienced life-transforming loss. Crooked Lines is Jenna's honest and compelling story of navigating divorce, single parenthood, interfaith marriage, and losing parents while holding on to one's humor and traditions. A Family’s Fight For Freedom Dr. Ruth Samuel Tenenholtz - Land of Many Bridges - My Fathers Story   Land of Many Bridges is a riveting novel that tells the true story of the Samuel family as they forge a path to survival, often separated but always together in spirit.

From her two-year-old sister’s bleached hair, her parents’ immense feeling of survival guilt, and a daring escape from Camp Westerbork, the memoir spares no detail in sharing her family’s victories and failures. As the threat of Nazi violence against the Jews of Overijssel grows, David Simon Samuel ties a knot in the corner of his huge red handkerchief to remind him of the “inner whisper” warning him against the danger of Hitler. This marks the beginning of the horrifying years endured by David and his family. A page-turning tale of suspense, tragedy, comedy, and ultimately, triumph.

Blima Lorber's Obligations of Memory Interview Blima Lorber is a Brazilian journalist, and daughter of Holocaust survivors David and Malka - both born in Chelm, Poland. David was one of the few survivors of what is probably the first Holocaust death march that happened on 1st December 1939, the Chelm/Hrubieszów Death March, and also survived the terrible conditions in Russian Gulags. Malka was a teenager when the Second World War started and also had to leave some of her family in order to survive in Russian Kolkhozes. Both had to cope with Stalin’s politics.

Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance JCHRnow.com Group presents "RAYS OF HOPE" with authors: Jennifer Steil - Exile Music Keith Newhouse - My Tio's Pulse  Blima Lorber - Jewish Partisans Musical Guest Josh Nelson Jennifer Steil’s Exile Music.  As a young girl growing up in Vienna in the 1930s, Orly has an idyllic childhood filled with music. Her father plays the viola in the Philharmonic, her mother is a well-regarded opera singer, her beloved and charismatic older brother holds the neighborhood in his thrall, and most of her eccentric and wonderful extended family live nearby. Only vaguely aware of Hitler's rise or how her Jewish heritage will define her family's identity, Orly spends her days immersed in play with her best friend and upstairs neighbor, Anneliese. Together they dream up vivid and elaborate worlds, where they can escape the growing tensions around them. But in 1938, Orly's peaceful life is shattered when the Germans arrive. Her older brother flees Vienna first, and soon Orly, her father, and her mother procure refugee visas for La Paz, a city high up in the Bolivian Andes. Even as the number of Jewish refugees in the small community grows, her family is haunted by the music that can no longer be their livelihood, and by the family and friends they left behind. While Orly and her father find their footing in the mountains, Orly's mother grows even more distant, harboring a secret that could put their family at risk again. Years pass, the war ends, and Orly must decide: Is the love and adventure she has found in La Paz what defines home, or is the pull of her past in Europe--and the piece of her heart she left with Anneliese--too strong to ignore?   Keith Newhouse’s My Tio’s Pulse. Often, in answers to simple questions, children deal with difficult and sensitive issues.   As parents, we need to have the tools that help us with these difficult topics and explain them in a way that children can understand without causing fear or anxiety. Why are you crying, Tio Luis?   When Angel learned how to take his pulse in gym class, he never imagined the effect that his newfound knowledge would have on his Uncle Luis... or the conversations that it would start.   Using expert language from Psychotherapist Kenny Tello, who worked directly with children affected by Pulse and featuring illustrations by over 20 passionate artists, My Tio’s Pulse explains what happened at the Pulse Nightclub on June 12, 2016, clearly and simply will give children the tools to talk about difficult topics and empower them to feel safe.   Blima Lorber – The presentation is about Jewish Partisans in WW2. Estimates are that around 30 thousand Jews escaped from Nazi ghettos and camps to form or join organized resistance groups. They joined of non-Jewish groups that fought against the Nazis. However, some groups did not accept Jews into their ranks, so they had to hide this condition to be accepted in the units. This was an important factor in the creation of Jewish resistance groups.   After the war, several partisans came to Brazil, where most of them did not reveal their past as freedom fighters. Their legacies now come to light as their children, grandchildren, historians, and researchers recall their stories of courage and struggles, revealing that there was resistance on several fronts and that Jews did not passively surrender to their destruction. If they had to die, they would die fighting. Recorded June 25th 2023. Moderated by Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance JCHRnow.com Group Founder - Jeffery Giesener

Obligations Of Memory Podcast Iser Flaum author of "Under My Bubbe's Wing available on Amazon.com talks about why he wrote the stories contained in the book in an series of four episodes for the Obligations Of Memory Podcast Network. Iser speaks through his father's voice which provides a true-life memoir of defiant endurance through cruelty and traumatic loss, leading to ultimate survival. The author presents his father’s ordeals during five and a half years of Nazi captivity during the Holocaust. Included is a section of his mother’s similar experiences, although limited by her difficulty in discussing this topic. As the title infers, throughout his father David, perceives the aura of his late grandma’s spirit protecting him with her angelic wings, as vowed in an early vision. Besides the brutal forced labor, extreme hunger, and massive life upheaval, there are numerous near-death escapes. He consistently feels luck being steered his way. With this fortune, perseverance, and daring he ends up as the lone survivor of his large family. A similar outcome applies to the author’s mother. Narrated from a first-person viewpoint it depicts forced migrations, Warsaw ghetto internment, and an ever worsening struggle to survive.

Drawing on diverse sources – including interviews with the last surviving seamstress – The Dressmakers of Auschwitz follows the fates of these brave women.

My talk honors two Jews who emerged from the depths of hell. One endured both Auschwitz and Buchenwald, then had a long career as an engineer with the Du Pont Co. The other hid for 14 months in the sewers of Lviv and was among the first survivors of the Nazis to speak publicly throughout the United States. They met in the U.S. in 1950. I was born five years later.   During four decades as a journalist in Philadelphia, I've explored my parents' lives and other matters concerning the Holocaust. I wrote a trilogy of cover stories about my parents in The Philadelphia Inquirer's Sunday magazine, one of which made me a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in feature writing. My work has exposed former Nazis in the U.S., including ethnic leaders in the Republican Party. I also have examined how a Swiss financier of fascism used Nazi funds to promote postwar Arab terrorism. My presentation will explore the ways in which my life and journalism career were molded by the marriage of my beloved parents.   Musical Guest: Lenkta Lichtenberg Lenka Lichtenberg is a Canadian musician, composer, and producer who draws on the rich, intercultural Toronto soundscapes to create her own unique global sound.

Stories That Survive -- The Glassmakers Son and Heirs of Auschwitz JCHRnow.com The Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Group Live ZOOM Event Recording. Peter Kupfer author of The Glassmaker's Son and Dr. Jack Fried author of Heirs of Auschwitz: A True Story of the Holocaust, Transforming Inter-generational Trauma, and the Meaning of Existence. Musical Guest - Noah Aaronson Sunday, December 11th, 2022 The Glassmakers Son A blend of memoir and history, “The Glassmaker’s Son” by Peter Kupfer recounts the author’s decades-long quest to uncover the world his father left behind in Nazi Germany. Along the way he makes a series of surprising discoveries about his family, who were important players in the Bavarian glassmaking industry. After his grandfather was forced to sell the family villa, for instance, the Nazis turned it into their regional headquarters before it was destroyed by American artillery in the closing days of the war. In another twist, using a cache of old letters found in his parent's attic and other documents, Kupfer pieces together the details of his grandfather’s deportation and murder at Theresienstadt, a concentration camp in western Czechoslovakia touted by the Gestapo as a “spa town” for distinguished Jews. At heart, “Glassmaker” is about a search for identity — the identity of the author’s soft-spoken, inscrutable father, and of the author himself. Heirs of Auschwitz You can find countless stories of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust as told firsthand by those souls that have witnessed, lived through, and survived indescribable horror. From great retellings from authors such as Elie Wiesel to dramatized, influential works of fiction from writers including John Boyne, it becomes clear the Holocaust has impacted more than the people that directly experienced it. Musical Guest: Noah Aronson Moderated by Dr. Dana Shrager and Jeffery Giesener - Founder of the JCHRnow.com

Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance JCHRnow.com Group presents Hand Of Gold -- Roni Robbins, Dr. Mehak Burza and Abe Mazliach with Guest Musical Presenters: Floralove Katz and the Ottawa Klezmer Band Yom HaShoah JCHRnow.com 2023 Program Series Part 2 -- April 16, 2023 Moderated by Jeffery Giesener - Founder of the JCHRnow.com and Dr. Dana Shrager. Dr. Mehak Burza Holocaust education is neither mandatory nor prevalent in India. India represents a country that was neither directly affected nor involved with the Holocaust. As the timeline of the Holocaust overlaps the timeline of the struggle for freedom for the Indian subcontinent, the later events overshadow the former. Equating the partition of India with the Holocaust and tagging the Holocaust as one of the genocides, represents one of the few misconceptions about the Holocaust in India that often strips off the uniqueness of the catastrophic event. Dr. Burza will address the present status of Holocaust education in Indian schools and universities. She will also address the need of creating awareness regarding the Holocaust in India through relevant examples. Roni Robbins, Award-winning author-journalist Roni Robbins has been a published writer for 35 years. discusses how she kept family memories alive and preserved Jewish history and culture through her novel Hands of Gold. It's a heartwarming story about a fictional Sam Fox that began with cassette tapes he left his family. Sam came from nothing. A simple Jewish farmhand from Hungary, he spent most of his adult life running from danger, changing identities, skipping borders, harboring secrets, and fighting a devastating illness. The novel, based on an inspiring true story, offers an old-world take on several topics in the news today: A sometimes-fatal respiratory illness, life as an immigrant, and a mass shooting. Hands of Gold begins and ends with a remarkable secret and a past worth chronicling. Robbins shares how you can follow a similar path to document the meaningful contributions of those who helped shape your world and enrich the lives of others. Abe’ Mazliachs parents Leon and Lola survived the Holocaust and, after liberation, met and were married in the Feldafing, Germany Displaced persons camp. Abe shares their story.

Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance JCHrnow.com Group presents

Guri Stark -- ART AND THE HOLOCAUST: CAPTURING BEAUTY, BRUTALITY, HOPE A unique lecture on a topic that is not commonly discussed in the context of the Holocaust - the art of the Holocaust. Art is a powerful representation of the horrors, the hope, the anger, and the hopelessness experienced by Jews during and after the holocaust. Through personal stories of victims, survivors, and children artists, we will cover real examples of art created by them. We will observe and discuss how art has created a visual, long-living record of the Holocaust experienced. How it has been used as evidence for what really happened, how it helped children cope, and imagine a better world, and how it became a form of resistance by the artists.

Holocaust Survivor Zelda Fuksman speaks about how she came out of the Darkness of the Holocaust into the Light of the many next phases of her life. She also leaves us with a strong Yom HaShoah message. Interview with Jeffery Giesener Founder of the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Group on Facebook, JCHRnow.com, Spotify, Apple, Google, and YouTube. When Zelda educates children on the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah, men, women, and children she asks students can you write 2,000 names in a day on your blackboard? That's a lot of writing. Well, you would have to write 2,000 names for 8 1/2 years to reach the 6 million murdered in the Shoah. And I am speaking to 100 students here today. How many do you think of your fellow classmates here today would have survived? Please look to your right, then left and front and back. Do you know only 8 of you would have Survived the Holocaust? That's right only eight of you. This is why we must remember and why we must always teach the lessons of the Holocaust even when I am no longer here. You must continue to remember so Holocausts and Genocides will NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN

WITH DANIEL SEYMOUR/Manci Grunberger Beran and Ruth Grunberger Mermelstein—who survived Auschwitz TOMMY SCHNURMACHER FRANNIE SHERIDAN Daniel Seymour/Manci Grunberger Beran and Ruth Grunberger Mermelstein—who survived Auschwitz TWO DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL The personal stories of two sisters—Manci Grunberger Beran and Ruth Grunberger Mermelstein—who survived Auschwitz extend far beyond the Holocaust. Indeed, they have thrived in very different lives but only because of the personal bond that they have for one another: From Auschwitz with Love. Both sisters describe this bond in the memoir, diary materials, and “in their own voices” during this presentation. Additionally, Daniel Seymour will discuss the importance of how this passion project, and other projects like it, need to be part of our collective responsibility to Never Forget.

How Vanity Saved My Mother’s Life details the foibles of his tumultuous relationship with his Holocaust survivor Mom who looked like Elizabeth Taylor and sounded like Zsa Zsa Gabor. The humorous presentation by this veteran radio broadcaster will answer several questions. How did his family escape from Hungary? How did Mom use her wits and her chutzpah to survive Auschwitz? What did she say to Robert Redford at the Academy Awards? Why did Omar Sharif invite her to his table and how on earth did she manage to charm a 6’4” Los Angeles cop?   Frannie Sheridan FROM TRAUMA TO NIRVANA   Throughout her journey from TRAUMA to NIRVANA!

Yom HaShoah Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance 2023 JCHRnow.com Remembrance Through Art and Music - Part 1 of a 3 part series. March 19, 2023 Zola Shuman shares the story and songs of her mother, her Uncle Leyb Rosenthal who wrote for the Ghetto Theatre productions and highlights the powerful spiritual resistance, life, strength, comfort, and hope the music gave to the inmates.  Zola will also perform her original song “Hert Zich Tsu -We Will Remember You”, written as a tribute to all survivors, and their families lost and as a promise to all future generations.   That We Are Still Here”.    Robin E. Bernstein’s series of 18 artworks entitled Beauty and Terror responds and speaks to the Holocaust. The stories in the collection range from well-documented aspects to lesser-known crimes and stories of redemption. Each art piece has been created by pressing thousands of tiny cut pieces of colored string into wax. The artworks have been intentionally made to be beautiful: highly colored, freely shaped, obsessively crafted, carefully composed, and inviting to look at. The viewer is compelled to step close and on inspection can then absorb the stories. The surface texture and repetitive artistic process help to carry the content as well as respect and honor the victims of the Holocaust.    These artworks have been made as acts of political resistance in a time of rising autocracy worldwide. They serve as warnings, memorials, and to educate viewers. This work uses visual art to push back against historical amnesia.    Judith Tellerman’s songs pertaining to the Shoah are a compilation of archival pieces Judith has restored, preserved, and recorded together with the original songs she has composed. Judith’s music touches on the historical relevance and special relationship to her family Shoah history and her cousin, the martyr, Arthur Szmul Zygielbaum. Judith’s voice is beautiful and firmly grounded in Jewish tradition, and her songbook reflects those values musically beautifully. Ursula Duba'spoems and essays read from her book "G E R M A N Y THE LEGACY OF BYSTANDERS, COWARDS, INFORMERS, DESKTOP MURDERERS, AND EXECUTIONERS". Essays read by Jeffery Giesener Program Moderator: Jeffery Giesener- Founder of the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance JCHRnow.com

MEANING OF LEGACY Guests Hank Greenspan, Miriam Friedmann Morris and Zola Shulman April 10, 2022 MEANING OF LEGACY first starts with LEARNING TOGETHER.

Going beyond testimony as usually understood. In learning together, testimony becomes the beginning of conversation rather than the end; declaration ("this I witnessed") becomes sustained exploration.

HENRY (HANK) GREENSPAN holds degrees from Harvard University (B.A, M.Ed.) and Brandeis University (Ph.D.) and held a Junior Fellowship of the Michigan Society of Fellows during which he did his doctoral research. He completed clinical internships (psychology) at the Brandeis Psychological Counseling Center and the University of Michigan Psychological Clinic. Greenspan is the author of On Listening to Holocaust Survivors: Beyond Testimony (now in its second and expanded edition) and, with Agi Rubin, Reflections: Auschwitz, Memory, and a Life Recreated as well as numerous articles on survivors' retelling, including the chapter on survivors' accounts for the Oxford Handbook of Holocaust Studies. He has been the annual Weinmann lecturer at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington (USHMM). In 2011, he co-led with Wendy Lower the annual Hess Seminar for Professors of Holocaust Courses at the USHMM. In 2012, he was the Fulbright Visiting Research Chair at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University in Montreal.

He received the 2020 article award from the Oral History Association for "The Humanities of Contingency: Interviewing and Teaching Beyond 'Testimony' with Holocaust Survivors." Most recently, he has been working with Sweden in helping plan the first Holocaust museum in that country. His award-winning play, REMNANTS, was originally produced for radio at WUOM-FM in 1991 and distributed to NPR and APR. Greenspan has since presented it as a one-person stage performance at more than 300 venues worldwide. More recent plays include "Done is Done," "Death / Play, or the Mad Jester of the Warsaw Ghetto," "The Stall," "The Spike," "The Perfect Game," "East Angels," "Boxes," "AmericaNirvana," "Arithmetic," "Gravediggers," and "The Aquarium."

HIs most recent play, "Gravediggers," is a short one-act set in the midst of the war in Ukraine. He is a lifetime member of the Dramatists Guild. Miriam Friedman Morris Miriam Friedman Morris is the daughter of Auschwitz survivors David and Hildegard Friedman(n). Art shaped her life. Fascination with her father’s Nazi-looted art launched a four-decade quest to find lost works and ensure his rightful place in history. Her pursuit launched a worldwide revival of an artist obscured by the Nazi regime. It even led to an episode “Holocaust Diary” on the Fox Business News show, Strange Inheritance. Morris, who lives in New York, facilitates exhibitions, lectures and writes — and is dedicated to the preservation of her father’s art legacy. She has co-written a book, traveled the world, is a recognized lecturer and author of several articles. A new Holocaust documentary, "Dear Miriam - The Art and Survival of David Friedmann", by Emmy Award Winner John Rokosny, is currently in production. Morris is currently writing a book about her father’s life through art: http://z.umn.edu/davidfriedmann. ZOLA Shuman Zola is a singer~songwriter, composer, performance coach, creative content consultant and performing artist. Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Zola Shuman, a Billboard award winning composer, lived in Boston USA for over twenty years, debuting her jazz album "Here With You" at Scullers Jazz Club in 2007. She has released a number of original CD's for children and adults, written commissioned works for international fund-raising charity organizations and for film: Silver Hammer Studios ("The Dancing Pumpkin"- 2007) and Reel Action Productions ("Generation To Generation" -2020).

The Boy Who Drew Auschwitz: A Powerful True Story of Hope and Survival 

 A story about the past with powerful messages for the future – Holocaust Survivor Thomas Geves documented the past and became an active witness out of a wish and hope for this testimony to raise people's awareness of the true events of the past in detail, their effect on people and the way people coped with them, some surviving them against all odds. 

Learning about the past has a value of its own, but learning from it, can teach us a lot about ourselves, about our present life.

Thomas' testimony carries his hope and wishes for people to learn from the past, live accordingly and create a better future.

CHRnow.com EVERYONE HAS A STORY   

Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Group presents...JCHRnow.com  Presenters...  

Jennifer Coburn is the author of “Cradles of the Reich”. “Cradles of the Reich” is a historical novel about three very different women living at a Nazi Lebensborn breeding home at the start of World War ll. Cradles of the Reich provides a cautionary tale for modern times told in stunning detail. The book also carries an uplifting reminder of the power of women to set aside differences and work together in solidarity in the face of oppression.   

Jeannette Grunhaus de Gelman is the author of “On Sunny Days We Sang”. When the Nazis march into de Gelman’s little Polish shtetl at the start of World War II, the Jews of Wlodawa see their lives abruptly torn apart. For Hil and Alexandra, the author’s parents, it marks the beginning of a struggle to survive during which they will experience ghettos, roundups, hiding places, and false identities, a struggle where the line between life and death will depend on small decisions made along the way. With the story of the destruction of Polish Jewry as a backdrop, Jeannette tells us the remarkable tale of her parents’ journey, which will take them from the dark years in Europe at war to safety and a new life in Venezuela.   

Musical Guests Songs of Protest - Baraye  Thousands of women have gathered on the streets of Tehran to protest mandatory veiling and in support of equal rights and non-discrimination. Viewed in historical context, Iranian women have been leading a fight for justice for over 40 years, despite violent threats to their lives and livelihoods.  We call out Human Rights Violations for Women in Iran  In solidarity with the brave women and all protesters of Iran

Jenna Zark from the Twin Cities of Minnesota is joined for the  Obligations of Memory Interview by her cousins Dina and Brian Fine from  Long Island  

When you part company with the life you’ve been living and have to start  a new one, what do you do?  Jenna Zark didn’t expect to be divorced. She didn’t expect to be a  single mom—but when her son was three, that's exactly what happened.  After moving from New York to the Twin Cities because of her former  husband's job as a cantor at a synagogue, she knew very few people  outside the synagogue.   The idea of starting over was terrifying. And yet, and yet.  There is a saying that God paints crooked lines when leading us to the  people we were meant to meet. This book was born of the journey.    

Crooked Lines: A Single Mom’s Jewish Journey was written for people of  all faiths (or none)   Navigating divorce, single parenthood, interfaith marriage and losing  parents  Or if you’re going through these transitions and just need to know  someone else has been through it  Crooked Lines: A Single Mom's Jewish Journey is published by Koehler  Book and is available on Amazon.  Jenna Zark is an award-winning author and playwright. Her columns for TC  Jewfolk were the basis for Crooked Lines and frequently went viral at  sites around the country. Zark is also the author of two middle-grade  books, The Beat on Ruby’s Street and Fool’s Errand, released by Dragon  Moon   

Both books achieved a  top-50 ranking in Amazon’s Children and  Historical Fiction category several times. The Beat on Ruby’s Street won  first prize from Wishing Shelf awards in the UK and was a finalist for  the Minnesota Author’s Project. Zark was also a staff writer at  Scholastic magazine. Her play A Body of Water was published by  Dramatists Play Service, produced at Circle Repertory Company in New  York, and chosen by the National Foundation for Jewish Culture as a play  that "breaks new ground." She is also a lyricist and is still trying to  figure out if it’s easier to write a play, book or song. If you want to  weigh in on that, feel free to write via the contact page!

Obligations Of Memory Interview Series with Peter Kupfer author of The Glassmaker's Son  “The Glassmaker’s Son” is a blend of memoir and family history that tells the story of my father, Robert Kupfer, the son of a  Jewish industrialist who fled Nazi Germany in 1937, through the eyes of a gay son who yearned to get closer to him and unlock the secrets of his past.  

Soft-spoken and inscrutable, with a guttural accent and a mischievous sense of humor, my father rarely spoke about his life in Germany before the war. It was only after he died in 1976, through the discovery of a cache of old letters and a series of visits to his hometown in Bavaria, that I learned the scope of his family’s glassmaking business (more than 20 factories in three countries) and the details of his desperate, ultimately unsuccessful effort to save his father from the Nazi genocide.  The book traces my father’s life growing up in the Oberpfalz in northeast Bavaria, fleeing to the United States, marrying into a family of strong-willed Ukrainian Jewish immigrants, and building a successful business making women’s clothing. 

It also explores my own life growing up in a middle-class Jewish home in Connecticut, coming to terms with my sexuality, and yearning to get closer to Dad and learn more about the glamorous life he once lived.  Using historical documents and family anecdotes, “Glassmaker" pieces together the details of my grandfather Otto’s deportation and murder at Theresienstadt, a concentration camp touted by the Gestapo as a “spa town” for distinguished Jews. It also recounts a series of surprising discoveries I made in Dad's hometown. After my grandfather was forced to sell the family villa, for instance, the Nazis turned the house into their regional headquarters; it was destroyed by American artillery in the closing days of the war.  In another surprising twist, shortly after my first visit to Weiden, I received a letter from my grandfather’s former housekeeper informing me that he had entrusted her with a pair of oil portraits of my great grandparents, which she had been “guarding” ever since, hoping to return them one day to a member of my family. 

The process of recovering them, as I recount, was a long and convoluted one.  At its heart, Glassmaker is about a search for identity — both my father's and my own. It will appeal to readers interested in Jewish history and culture, in the Holocaust, in gay themes, and more broadly in family life and personal history.   About Peter Kupfer: I am a veteran journalist with experience writing and editing stories about business, technology, culture and other subjects for major newspapers and magazines, including the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Observer and Metropolis magazine.

The Obligations Of Memory Podcast Network L'Dor V'Dor Interview Series  Randi Maggid was raised in Beverly Hills, California, the youngest child of Holocaust survivors. 

My mother's greatest gift to me was her positive outlook in difficult and trying times —something that's helped me throughout my life.  After attending UC Santa Barbara, I received my BA in Journalism from the University of Southern California and a Master of Science Management degree from Boston University. I was an Art Director in Los Angeles and Chicago, owned an art and frame Gallery in Israel, and worked in public relations before marrying and having a family.  Like Alix, the main character in my memoir, Beverly Hills Concentration Camp, I had a life altering experience. One day in 2008, while driving to visit my mother, I turned my head to the left and heard a noise in my head. 

I thought nothing more about it, until I woke up the next day unable to move. Doctors told me I'd never be able to use my left arm again unless I had surgery within a week to place metal disks in my neck. But something inside told me I was supposed to go in a different direction. 

The direction I chose — alternative healing — would forever change my life. My personal healing journey, working through all the layers of trauma and disappointment, taught me many tools I still use in my life today.  I began training as a healer and Shaman and discovered that healing others not only helped me heal but came naturally. I now believe I went through all that distress because I was meant to help others get through their own challenges. Today I continue to expand my skills as a Healer, while continuing to help others dive deep into extraordinary energy, joy and wellness.I live in Los Angeles with my husband and two children.   The interview was conducted on August 11, 2022 for the Obligations Of Memory Podcast Network by Jeffery Giesener - Founder of the Jewish Culture and Holocaust Remembrance Group on Facebook/YouTube Video Channel /Spotify/Amazon/Apple/YouTube and Google Podcasts.
