Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, Sing for Hope, and Lang Lang International Music Foundation will come together to present “We Are Here: A Celebration of Resilience, Resistance, and Hope.” This special concert event commemorates the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II and the 77th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, even as it speaks to the challenges of the current moment.
The program will feature musical performances and remarks from performers and public figures as well as Jodi Rudoren’s interview with producer Nancy Spielberg, filmmaker Roberta Grossman and author Sam Kassow about their film “Who Will Write Our History,” on Oneg Shabes, the group that daringly preserved the history of the Warsaw Ghetto.
This event will be livestreamed and available to watch for free on Sunday, June 14 at 2:00 p.m. ET at wearehere.live.

Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
