94-year-old Max Glauben didn't want to "get political," but the Holocaust survivor said Tuesday that scenes from the war in Ukraine are much too familiar. Instead, in speaking to our High School seniors, Glauben focused on his testimonial as a Jewish teen when the first German bombs fell in Poland, his witness of the increasing horrors of the Warsaw ghetto, the systematic murder of everyone Glauben held dear, and his wily defiance as an orphan clawing for survival against the Final Solution.

No more powerful culmination of our March of the Living course could be possible. Thank you, Mr. Glauben.
Rabbi Green writes: "My mother had the beautiful custom to look for and buy a new haggadah each year. She would seek out esoteric and varied texts and then hold court – surrounded by her haggadot and her family. In that profound and yet mostly quiet way, she led our family’s Seder year after year."
