What a meaningful way to spend Yom HaShoah- at a Survivor’s Lunch cohosted in partnership with Holocaust Education Resource Organization of Buffalo and JCC Buffalo.

April’s luncheon was special for two reasons: We commemorated Yom HaShoah, honoring all who were lost to the Holocaust, and welcomed Christine Kuehn, author of Family of Spies, to give a talk about her family and her book. Everyone in the group received a signed copy of the book before Christine and her husband Mark gave a talk about their family history and what being in this room meant to them. Thanks to our partners and to Christine and Mark for coming together to mark this day in such a special way.
