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.
Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
