Panel Discussion at Temple Beth Shalom
October 28, 2009


Early in 2009 Rabbi Ari Goldstein asked me to organize an educational event commemorating the Holocaust. We decided to put it into a broader historical context and to use a prospective panel format. I knew three panelists of different backgrounds and different war experiences.

Four of us would respond spontaneously to questions put by Rabbi Goldstein and the members of the audience which included students and people of various occupations and religious interests. About 300 people attended. Arrangements were made by Karen Brachmen, Administrator and Doreen Noel, Office Coordinator.

Those who attended expressed many, many thanks for this extraordinary experience.
