This Sunday from JFCS East Bay: "Helpers and Rescuers: Memoirs from the Holocaust"

Jewish Family & Children's Services of the East Bay

 Helpers and Rescuers: Memoirs from the Holocaust

Please join us for a special event showcasing the ongoing work of JFCS/East Bay's Holocaust Survivor Memoir Writing Group. Since the group's inception in 2008, members have written and revised countless pieces—each capturing the breadth of time, place, and the unique nature of individual experience. To prepare for this reading, group members came together to write about the ubiquitous and complicated notion of helpers and rescuers. Each man, woman, and child that survived, did so with the help of multiple people, courageous resolve, and often very fortunate (if not miraculous) circumstances.  The reading will explore the multifaceted nature of gratitude, the complex scenarios that turned otherwise ordinary people into rescuers, as well as the turmoil some faced when their survival meant enduring painful situations, severe neglect, and spiteful caregivers.  Please join us as our survivors reflect the honesty, strength, and beauty of their stories.
