Bringing the Past into the Future
Speaker: Rachel Fidler, Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust (LAMOTH)
Moderated by Dan Nathan (American Studies)
Tue, February 21 @ 6pm, ELM - Zankel Music Center
This may be the last decade in which a younger generation can directly connect with
those who lived through the Holocaust. With Voices of History, the Los Angeles Museum of the Holocaust has set out to bring out the voices of Holocaust
Survivors through a young person's lens using the Holocaust as a source of motivation
and activism. Survivors' inspirational and timeless stories can teach others the
power of perseverance as well as the importance of protesting injustice. With Voices of History, teens and young adults are producing compelling oral histories and short films with
the support of the museum that are inspired by these stories.
Join Creative Program Director Rachel Fidler as she shares some of the stories and
the impact of this program for generations past, present and future.
Rachel Fidler As Creative Programs Director at LAMOTH, Rachel merges her
experience with young adult museum programming in the arts with Holocaust education,
specifically centered around creative reflection. Working with community partners,
Rachel develops and directs art programs in a variety of mediums connecting Holocaust
Survivors and teens in the Los Angeles area. Creative programs at LAMOTH have been
selected for the Slingshot Guide, recognizing the most innovative Jewish nonprofits
in North America.
This event is sponsored by MDOCS and the Jacob Perlow Series.
