Never Again: Allentown JCC to Commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day

To commemorate Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – on Wednesday, April 15, at 7:00 p.m. at the Jewish Community Center of Allentown, the Holocaust Resource Center of the Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley will host Julie Kohner, the CEO of Voices of the Generations, Inc., who will share her mother Hanna’s Holocaust story.

Hanna was the first Holocaust survivor living in the U.S. whose story became widely known after being featured on an episode of Ralph Edwards’s “This is Your Life.”

After Hanna passed away in 1990, Julie felt responsible to share her mother’s Holocaust story with a new generation. She hopes that by sharing this story and educating a new generation about the Holocaust, people can learn how to overcome hardship, racism, deprivation and the pain of war.
