WOODCLIFF LAKE—Is there a more important time than now to hear the story from the last remaining survivors?
That’s the question, more than rhetorical, leading the announcement to a guest speaker event on Sunday evening, March 6: the extraordinary story of an incredible woman and Holocaust survivor, Mrs. Agnes Adler.
Born in Budapest in 1930, Adler escaped the Nazis with the help of Raoul Wallenberg. After the war, as a refugee, she was denied entry to Israel for years by the British.
Adler is an artist living in Westwood. She is upbeat and happy and her story is promised to lift and inspire you.
The event, a project of Valley Chabad and The George and Martha Rich Foundation, is at Tice’s Center in Woodcliff Lake. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the program begins at 7. There’s no charge, but RSVP is required at eternalflame.org. The in-person-only event is open to all.
Valley Chabad’s teen fellowship program precedes the event at 6 p.m.
Valley Chabad says it’s “a place where Judaism is celebrated joyfully and meaningfully, where Judaism sheds relevant perspective to our daily lives. With opportunities to expand the mind, excite the heart and touch the soul, our Center offers a wide range of learning, connection and outreach venues, for all ages, where experience is paramount and questions are encouraged and embraced.”
Its teen Eternal Flame program is “a community effort to brighten the very existence that the Nazis labored to extinguish. Through firsthand testimony, study and discussions, volunteering and trips, we are fortifying our own Jewish pride and sharing the joy with our respective circles.”
