Join the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center for a special Hear My Story Gallery Talk with Holocaust survivor Zahava Rendler in our museum at historic Union Terminal on December 8 at 1:30 p.m.

Zahava Rendler was born Golda Feuerberg in Stryi, Poland on March 30, 1941. Zahava and her family hid in an underground bunker until her parents decided it was too dangerous and sent her to live with a Polish woman. The woman, fearing she would be discovered, placed Zahava in a convent where she survived and was found by her father. Zahava will share her story and lessons and discuss her views on the recent rise in antisemitism and what we can do to fight hate and prejudice.

This discussion is part of the Hear My Story Gallery Talk Series, a new in-person, quarterly series that brings the powerful stories of survivors, descendants, and today’s justice-seekers directly into the museum setting. Through immersive long-form interviews, the Hear My Story Gallery Talk Series offers an intimate space to connect with voices of resilience, courage, and humanity. Part of the Cynthia and Harold Guttman Family Center for Storytelling and generously supported by Margaret & Michael Valentine, this program continues the work of sharing and preserving stories that inspire a new generation. Join us each quarter to witness history come to life and leave inspired to make a difference. Want to tune into conversations online in the meantime? Visit our digital series here.

Join the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center for our annual International Holocaust Remembrance Event on Sunday, January 26, at 11 a.m. at Union Terminal.

Following a meaningful conversation with local survivors in Reakirt Auditorium, guests will have the opportunity to engage with our groundbreaking Dimensions in Testimony exhibit, featuring new local Holocaust survivor testimony in an interactive format.

The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27 — the anniversary of the liberation of AUSCHWITZ-BIRKENAU — as INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY. On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides.
