The effects of the Holocaust lasted long after the end of World War II. Survivors had to find ways to cope with their experiences and rebuild their lives and families. We will highlight survivor experiences after liberation, including life in Displaced Persons (DP) camps and life-long efforts to persevere and remember. Using artifacts and testimony from survivors in our Michigan community, we will discuss the ongoing process of returning to life after the Holocaust and the importance of learning from personal stories. Registration encouraged. This community event is part of the “Learn the Story” series we are hosting in partnership with the Westland Public Library. Registration opens one month before each event date below: January 28: Understanding the Holocaust: The Escalation to Genocide March 25: Women and the Holocaust: Spotlighting Underrepresented Histories April 15: Spreading Hate: Propaganda and the Holocaust May 27: Escaping Genocide: Jewish Refugees During the Holocaust June 23: Life after the Holocaust: Postwar Survivor Experiences
