Special Author Appearance for Yom HaShoah
This Sunday, April 23 at 10:00 am
 Ann S. Arnold discusses her book,
Together - A Journey for Survival, the story of a family's survival during the Holocaust. This presentation takes place while TBC's Religious School is in session, and is appropriate for ages 12 and up.
In this book Ann Arnold shares her family's journey through Poland's countryside as a war of nations thunders around them. The story displays the magnificent strength of a mother's love and the incredible courage of good people during the worst of times. "
An important work. Ann Arnold's effort to both tell their tale of her family's survival during the Holocaust while being a part of encouraging the next generation to embrace tolerance is inspiring." -Michael Cohen, The Simon Wiesenthal Center
