‘An Evening of Inspiration’ with Holocaust survivor Mark Schonwetter
May 2, 2024
Program starts at 6:30 p.m.
This program is presented by the Alabama Holocaust Education Center in partnership with the Levite Jewish Community Center.
Join us at the LJCC to hear from Mark Schonwetter, a Polish Holocaust survivor and co-founder of the Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation.
Born and raised in Brzostek, Poland, Mark, his mother, and his sister spent six years hiding from the Nazis. Walking miles by foot, the Schonwetters ran from ghettos to forests to righteous families’ attics while dodging the Nazis. Mark’s journey is a harrowing story of resilience, rescue, and survival. His memories are a testament to the strength of humanity in the darkest of times.
