***VIRTUAL*** Holocaust Survivor to Speak at Congregation Beth Emek
Leon Malmed to speak about his experiences and his new book "We Survived...At Last I Speak".
Holocaust survivor Leon Malmed will be the guest speaker at Congregation Beth Emek’s Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) observance on April 20 at 7:30 pm. In 1942, Leon Malmed’s Jewish parents were arrested and ultimately died in the Auschwitz extermination camp. Due to the bravery of a neighbor family, Leon was kept hidden and thus survived the deadly attacks on the Jews. So painful were his memories, he did not talk about the war era for more than sixty years. At the age of 70, he decided to write the testimony of how he survived the war and its aftermath. His book is entitled: "We Survived...At Last I Speak.” Mr. Malmed will share his remarkable story as part of Congregation Beth Emek’s annual Yom Hashoah service. Memorial prayers, poetry and songs are shared in remembrance of the victims of Nazism. The community is invited to attend. This program is made possible by a grant from the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund.
This program is online only and advance registration is required to receive the webinar link.
