Yom HaShoah Commemoration: A Powerful Story of Survival

Join us as we honor Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, with a profound and moving presentation by Alexander Bruner, nephew of Holocaust survivor József Debreczeni. Bruner will share the remarkable journey of publishing his uncle's memoir, Cold Crematorium—a harrowing firsthand account of survival in Auschwitz and the resilience of the human spirit. This is an opportunity to reflect, remember, and ensure that these stories are never forgotten. We invite you to stand with us in remembrance and learning.
