WORKSHOP FOR 2nd GENERATION SURVIVORS
Who will tell their stories when they are gone? Who will continue to tell their stories when they are gone?

Throughout the year the Federation receives numerous requests from schools and organizations looking to have a survivor come and bear witness and teach about the Holocaust. Each year we have fewer survivors to call upon. The Shoah Committee of the Jewish Federation of Ottawa will hold a workshop to train second generation survivors on how to speak and teach about the Holocaust when our survivors are no longer able to.
If you are interested in being a part of this workshop, please contact Sarah Beutel at sbeutel@jewishottawa.com (613) 798-4695 ext 253.
