A Look at the Holocaust Through the Lens of Resistance and Hope
You are invited to attend our 2018 Learning Together Seminar at SJAM. Together we will be learning about the history and the lessons of the Holocaust through different voices and forms. Listening and learning together is an act of remembrance and commitment to ‘never again.’

Testimony of Survival: Howard Chandler
Howard Chandler was born in 1928, in Starachowice, Poland. He was only 11 years old when the war broke out. Howard will share his personal testimony of life with his family, experiences in the ghetto, deep loss, deportation and liberation.

Liberation: Resiliency in the Aftermath of the Holocaust
Michelle Fishman, the Neuberger’s Education Coordinator will discuss how survivors of the Holocaust rebuilt their lives upon liberation. She will contextualize film footage she shot of Holocaust survivors reflecting on how they experienced liberation and the defeat of National Socialism, their arrival in Canada, and the process of “becoming Canadian.”
Telling our Grandfather’s Survival Testimony: Keeping His Testimony Alive
Jesse and Samuel Buckstein will give voice to their grandfather Oscar’s testimony of survival. We will bear witness to the importance of continuing to tell the survivor’s testimony through the next generations. Jesse and Sam will also share with us the impact of their grandfather’s experiences on their lives and involvements.
