Beth Sholom Congregation, 11825 Seven Locks Road, Potomac, MD
Gen After member Nira Berry is chairing this year’s Holocaust Remembrance event featuring guest speaker Silvia Foti. Community survivors and descendants are invited to participate in the ceremony and register for the lunch that will be held after services. A speaker Q&A session will follow.
Silvia Foti is an author, teacher, and speaker who shares her harrowing journey of uncovering the truth about her grandfather, a celebrated Lithuanian WWII hero to whose memory schools and monuments are dedicated. She discovered he collaborated in the Holocaust and was responsible for the deaths of thousands of Jews. Her work exposes Lithuania’s ongoing efforts to distort Holocaust history and deny its complicity. Through her book The Nazi’s Granddaughter and public advocacy, she continues to fight against historical revisionism and Holocaust denial. Details and registration will be posted on the Gen After calendar and Beth Sholom website as they become available.
