The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center enhances the teaching and the learning of the lessons of the Holocaust and the right of all people to be treated with dignity and respect.
We were so pleased to see such a tremendous turnout of our friends who gathered for lunch and an intimate talk and presentation of Agi Keleti: The Jewish Olympian’s Story of Survival and Triumph by our Board Chairperson and GenerationsForward Speaker Michael Gyory.
Michael told the uniquely powerful story of his father’s cousin who survived the Nazis and outlasted the Communists to become the greatest female Jewish Olympian of all time and today, at 102, she is the oldest living Olympic medalist. We also unveiled our new HHREC Exhibit of her story that is now available to area schools, synagogues, colleges, churches and civic centers.
Thank you to all who joined us, and to our special friends at the beautiful Bet Am Shalom Synagogue in White Plains for hosting the program!
