In solemn observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center (HERC) and Jewish Museum Milwaukee (JMM) invite you to attend a panel discussion for reflection and remembrance. This program will also mark the final day to experience the Violins of Hope exhibition at Jewish Museum Milwaukee.
Join us as we recommit to ensuring that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten — and voices that were once silenced are heard again. We will pay special tribute to Jewish musicians who were silenced by the Nazi regime — artists whose voices, compositions, and cultural contributions were cut short, yet whose legacies endure and thus are powerful symbols of resilience and the human spirit.
Panelists:
- Samantha Abramson, Executive Director, HERC
- Molly Dubin, Chief Curator, JMM
- Michael Morris, Community Engagement Manager, HERC
