Incredible presentation by Michael Herskovitz about his time in Auschwitz-Birkenau, Gunskirchen, and Mauthausenthree of over 20,000 Nazi concentration camps. Special thanks to Elana Weinblatt and the Jewish Law Students Association for inviting him to speak at Temple Law to resist the false narratives that STILL get perpetuated about the Holocaust. To those who attended: what stood out to you the most about his presentation??

JLSA, ILS, Outlaw, BLSA, NLG, WLC, Spin, PCR, SALSA, and LALSA present: A Story of Survival Holocaust survivor Michael Herkovitz will discuss his experiences and give a firsthand account of life in a concentration camp. This will be an extremely valuable discussion, as fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors are able to share their stories. We also intend to contradict our current Press Secretary's false and offensive commentary on the matter and shed light on the reality of the... Holocaust. The event will take place Wednesday, April 19th at noon in K1D. FALAFEL will be served. Learn more about our speaker at michaelherskovitz.org questions? comments? email [email protected]
