Learn about the effects the Holocaust caused long after the end of WWII at White Lake Community Library on Wednesday, November 4th, at 5:30pm. In this program presented by The Zekelman Holocaust Center, weâll hear about survivors who had to find ways to cope with their experiences and rebuild their lives and families. We will examine 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 consider the ongoing process of returning to life after the Holocaust and the importance of learning from personal stories. Registration appreciated at wlclib.org/calendar.
