Telling the Story - So We Never forget

It took me many years before I could tell others what I experienced in the Concentration Camp at Theresienstadt.  It is now my life's work to tell my story.

Since 2012, I have spoken to more than 600 groups reaching over 85,000 people, most of whom were students.

I am available to speak to groups of any size that are interested in hearing a first person account of the Holocaust.

Typically I accept speaking engagements within 60 minutes driving distance of the Northern Suburbs of Chicago. I no longer reside in the Ft. Myers, Florida area in the winter months. In the past I have spoken to groups ranging from 25-1,000 people with an average audience close to 100. 

I usually do presentations to middle school, high school, or college age students as well as adult groups.  Ideally, I like to have 45-50 minutes to speak followed by a question and answer period.  I have done presentations as brief as 30 minutes and longer presentations as well.  I have a power point presentation I can use and prefer organizations to provide a laptop, projector, and screen if possible.

Please Contact Me to discuss speaking to your organization.

I have the privilege of meeting many people when I speak.  Recently, I even met another survivor.  We never forget.
I'm especially touched when a student uses information they have learned to create another vehicle to tell the story of the Holocaust.  I am sometimes contacted by students to obtain first hand information.  This is a video about the Holocaust produced by an 8th grader in Topeka, Kansas
