SUMMARY:A Salute to Veterans and Holocaust Survivors with the Pozez JCC
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we honor those who have served our country and fought for freedom and democracy. This Veterans Day\, we honor the men and women of the military whose service was part of a noble 250-year-old cause – life\, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – for all. On the heels of Kristallnacht (The Night of Broken Glass)\, we also pay tribute to those persecuted for their religious beliefs\, specifically Holocaust survivors. \nExperience a candid\, moving and unexpectedly funny father-and-son conversation between David Diamond (father) and Todd Diamond (son)\, author of Pass the Trauma\, Please\, an unconventional memoir that uses humor to help audiences enter the darkness of the Holocaust. In addition to uncovering extraordinary stories of survival\, loss\, resilience and family secrets\, it will explore concepts larger than the book itself: Why survivors remain silent\, why the next generation hesitates to ask\, what trauma and memory get passed between generations\, and why preserving testimony has never been more urgent. \nPart Holocaust history\, part incredible family story\, and part call to action\, the program asks a simple\, but important question of all of us: Who in your life still has a story you haven’t asked them to tell? \nFee: Complimentary to all. Light patriotic refreshments will be served. Ages 18+\nDonations to the Pozez JCC are greatly appreciated\, here: https://give.thej.org/campaign/735109/donate \nQuestions? Contact AdultServices@theJ.org or 703.537.3068. \n \nAccommodations: None \n \nOrganization: Pozez JCC of Northern Virginia \n \nLivestream or Virtual: No\, it’s not
