Join Lise Kirchner, director of education, and Ellie Lawson, education manager at the VHEC, for a meaningful Yom HaShoah program about the inspiring story of Rebecca Teitelbaum and the book of recipes she secretly compiled while imprisoned at Ravensbrück concentration camp.

Through historical context, family photographs, archival records and survivor testimony, you will learn about the persecution of Belgian Jews, the experiences of women imprisoned in Ravensbrück and the creative acts of defiance that sustained them.

Community members are warmly invited to participate in this evening of learning and remembrance. This event is hosted at Har El North Shore Center for Jewish Life on Wednesday, April, 15 at 7PM.
