Yom Hashoah Program

Monday, April 28
6:00 - 8:00 PM

All teens, families, and community members of CSR are welcome to join for the CSR Teens Yom HaShoah commemoration. Hear from Ellen Kaidanow, who will tell her mother-in-law's story and answer questions. More details below:

 

Ellen Kaidanow is the daughter-in-law of two Holocaust survivors. Her mother-in- law, also named Ellen Kaidanow, was only 5 years old when her mother, father and two sisters were all forced to move from their beautiful home in Dubno, Ukraine to a walled Jewish ghetto. Ellen tells the story of her mother-in-law’s life as a young girl in the ghetto and her miraculous tale of becoming the sole survivor of her family at age 6. She was saved by a Christian woman who hid her for two years.

 

Ellen will begin speaking at 6:30. We encourage you to join us to bear witness to our people's history and honor the stories of survivors.
