Survivors Speak Program Announced At The Morris Museum

The Morris Museum will host a special program, Survivors Speak on Tuesday, May 8 and Wednesday, May 16, 2018.

The program consists of two speakers who are eyewitnesses to the Holocaust (survivors, liberators, POWs) and a moderator. The speakers are chosen for the diversity of their stories during the period of the Holocaust to help develop awareness that the Holocaust encompassed a wide range of experiences.

The goal of the program is to help the community become witnesses to this time in history as speakers recount their individual experiences during World War II and the Holocaust. After meeting these survivors through their presentations the audience is invited to participate in a Question & Answer period. By attending this program, the audience also becomes active participants in the process of understanding and further sharing of the messages from each Survivor. The event can become a life-changing experience for participants.

This program was originally developed by the Holocaust Council of Greater MetroWest NJ specifically for the Morris Museum's outreach to schools and has been hosted for many years for students across the state of New Jersey. This year, this special program is being opened to the community at-large as a unique educational opportunity.
