Remembering the Holocaust: The Power of Family Stories Presented by Ruben Wind

Remembering the Holocaust. The power of family stories. Ruben Wind, the child of Holocaust survivors, will tell his parents' stories of escaping from the Nazi regime even as the walls were closing around Jews throughout much of their former homeland. Ruben's account of his parents' fortuitous flight to South America will be seen in the context of the unprecedented horrors occurring throughout Europe. He shares the story beginning during the Holocaust and the decades that followed. Ruben is passionate about sharing his family’s story. He believes it’s incredibly important to educate younger generations about the Holocaust — to make sure it’s never forgotten and never repeated. 

Ruben is a member of HERO The Holocaust Education Resource and Outreach Center. He is also a member of Generations Forward, a group of second and third generation individuals sponsored by the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center of White Plains, New York.
