First Person — Conversations with Holocaust Survivors

First Person is a program for the public featuring a series of conversations with Holocaust survivors. These eyewitness accounts unite personal experience with history in a way that is extraordinary in its immediacy and power. Each hour-long program is presented as a live interview with an opportunity for the audience to ask questions.

Sign language interpretation is available at every program.

First Person programs are held on Wednesdays from March-August. In April, May, June, and July programs will take place on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of each week.

The programs are also available as a podcast series. Listen here.
