THIS WEEKEND: 
LAMOTH Musical Ambassador Winter Showcase Series
Sunday, December 27 , 1:30-2:00 pm


Join us this Sunday at 1:30 pm, just before our Survivor Speaker at 2:00 pm, for a performance by one of our extremely talented LAMOTH Ambassadors of Music and Memory. These teenage pianists were selected for their talent, advocacy and commitment to Holocaust commemoration. The students will perform on the historic Blüthner piano in LAMOTH's Holocaust and Music exhibit, which before the Holocaust belonged to a Jewish musician in Germany named Alfred Sendrey.
IN MEMORY: 
Manny Steinberg 
1925-2015

With sadness we report the death of local Holocaust survivor Manny Steinberg (born Hirsch Mendel Steinberg) on December 21 at the age of 90. Born in Radom, Poland, Manny miraculously survived four Nazi camps during the Holocaust. He published an autobiography, "Outcry: Holocaust Memoirs," to fulfill a promise he made to himself during his first days of freedom: to ensure that the world never forgets what happened during the Holocaust. His book has sold over 100,000 copies and is available for purchase in LAMOTH's book store. In April 2015, accompanied by his family, Manny made an emotional visit to Germany for the first time since 1945 for the 70-year commemoration of the liberation of KZ-Vaihingen/Enz, where he had been imprisoned. May his memory be a blessing, and may we all learn from his example of a life lived with courage and dignity. 
 
The funeral will be held this Sunday, December 27, at 1:00 pm at Hillside Memorial Park. Manny Steinberg's family requests that donations in his memory be made to LAMOTH's Buses & Books Campaign.
SPOTLIGHT: 
LAMOTH Researching HIAS Assistance During the Holocaust   
 
Was someone in your family assisted by HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) during the Holocaust? LAMOTH is seeking personal stories about HIAS' role in aiding refugees and displaced persons during and after the Holocaust. For 130 years, HIAS has been serving refugees and displaced persons around the world through rescue, protection, and advocacy. Guided by Jewish values and the Jewish historical experience of forced migration, HIAS helps refugees find safety and freedom and regain control of their lives. If you or someone you know has a personal experience with HIAS you'd like to share, please email us at info@lamoth.org.
SURVIVOR SPEAKER SERIES: 
Marie Kaufman
Sunday, December 27, at 2:00 pm

Please join us this Sunday at 2:00 pm for a talk by Marie Kaufman. Born in Albi, France in 1941 to Polish refugees, Marie was a hidden child from 1942 to 1944 in the small village of Milhars, where the entire village took it upon themselves to shelter Marie, her mother, and her sister. Marie's family emigrated to Los Angeles in 1951. As a young adult she became active in the civil rights movement and the fight for farmworkers' rights. Marie is a licensed clinical social worker and an active volunteer with LAMOTH.
