Yom HaShoah Observance

Monday, May 6th

Featuring Dr. Jud Newborn

presenting on:  

"LIONS OF JUDAH: THE FULL SCOPE OF JEWISH ANTI-NAZI RESISTANCE - AND THE TRUE MEANING OF COURAGE IN THE FACE OF HAMAS FANATICISM"

In this unique and morale-boosting multimedia program, Dr. Jud Newborn, former Founding Historian of NY’s Museum of Jewish Heritage, presents the full scope of Jewish anti-Nazi resistance, providing accounts of Jewish heroism that will astound and inspire—while fundamentally changing our assumptions about how Jews responded to Nazi terror.  Ranging from Western to Eastern Europe and North Africa, these remarkable stories demonstrate the true meaning of courage and the Jewish affirmation of life, despite all odds, as we face the fanatical nihilism of the Hamas October 7th attack, and strive to counter the troubling resurgence of antisemitism that has come in its wake.
