This week, the Brawerman Fellows from the Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles came to LAMOTH for a L'Dough V'Dough session as part of their annual retreat. As they braided challah, Holocaust Survivors Betty Cohen and Eva Nathanson shared their narratives with them. Challah was donated to the Israel Levin Center.

Students from the Youth Policy Institute summer program visited LAMOTH this week. After a customized tour of the galleries, they listened to Tomas Kovar share his story of survival. Tomas was born in Slovakia and spent the war years in hiding with his family.
