Their Stories, Our Voices

Holocaust Days of Remembrance

Teach the Shoah speakers Allison Baumwald, Jamie Neumann and Claudia Andorsky share the stories of family members who survived the Holocaust.

Allison Baumwald shares the story of her grandmother, Helen Solarz Sadik, born in 1920 in Varka, Poland. Allison tells her grandmother's experience of the Holocaust in the first person. Jamie Neumann shares the story of her grandmother, Johanna Neumann, who was born in 1930 in Hamburg, Germany. During the war, she escaped to Albania, which refused to provide the Nazis a list of Jewish residents and gave Jews false documents to protect them. Claudia Andorsky shares the stories of her father, Henry Walter, and her uncle, Otto, during the Holocaust. At ages 17 and 14, Henry and Otto were separated from their parents and never saw them again. 

Teach the Shoah uses professional storytelling techniques to create custodians of memory who share about lives and lessons from an increasingly remote past. Their goal is to widen the network of people who tell the stories of the Holocaust. They believe people of all ages and backgrounds can learn from the Holocaust and be ambassadors for a better world.
