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 almost 800 groups reaching over 115,000 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. I have made many virtual presentations during Covid 19 and also currently to out-of-state schools.In the past I have spoken to groups ranging from 25-1,000 people with an average audience close to 150 per presentation.
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
