A Holocaust survivor pens a draft of his recollections during a Museum writers workshop, the Memory Project. Authors' works are published in volumes of Echoes of Memory. US Holocaust Memorial Museum
Presented by the Washington Next Generation Board in association with the 2019 National Next Generation Mission Trip to the Museum
Join us as we recognize a group of Holocaust survivors who volunteer at the Museum, sharing their personal testimonies, serving as tour guides, translating historic materials, and more. Their presence is an invaluable asset, and their contributions are vital to the Museum’s mission. Guests will have the rare opportunity to engage with survivors in small group settings.
We will also highlight the Memory Project, a guided writing workshop that provides survivors an opportunity to convey their experiences to their families and for the historical record. Their powerful writing has been collected in eleven volumes, Echoes of Memory.
The program will be followed by a reception. Heavy hors d’oeuvres will be served. Cocktail attire is requested.
Tickets are $85 per person and sponsorship opportunities are available.
