Where
Chatham University, Mellon Board Room
Mellon Board Room Chapel Hill Rd Pittsburgh, PA 15232
Registration required. Recommended for ages 12 and up. The Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh is proud of our Generations Speakers Bureau -- a committed group of children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors who continue to tell their family member's stories of survival. In the summer of 2024, we look forward to premiering some new talks to our audiences!
When we learn about the Holocaust, we need to learn individual stories that inspire us: inspire us to stand up for what is right, inspire us to speak out against evil even when we feel scared, and inspire us to hope even in the darkest times. We need to recognize the power each of us has. The stories that Dr. Melissa Marks will share about her mother, her grandmother, and extended family showcase the power individuals have in the choices we make. Melissa's mother and grandmother survived because of luck, quick wits, and the willingness of strangers to put what was right ahead of their own safety. Her grandfather survived the camps because he hoped to see his baby daughter married under a chupah. This program is recommended for ages 12 and up.
