Presented by the FCGG Facilities Working Group
on January 31 @ 7:00-8:00 pm
Now more than ever, it’s vital to reduce the carbon footprint of our worship facilities. Hear stories from three people who succeeded in getting solar installations on their religious facilities. Learn how they did it, how much it cost, where the money came from, and when they will see the return on their investment. How did they get members and leaders of their congregation to agree and support the idea? How much CO2 emissions will be reduced by their effort? Bring your questions and curiosity. Ever wonder if you can inspire your congregation to embrace the idea of solar installation for your religious facility? Find out how you too can put solar on your house of worship.

The Holocaust Speaker Series, held each Wednesday at 11:00 am, features Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors sharing stories of life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Join us on Wednesday, December 21st at 11:00 am via Zoom with Josie Ziegler.
Josie tells the stories of her grandparents’ journeys from the German towns of Cologne (Koln) and Landsberg am Lech to the USA. At 16 years old, Ellen (Josie’s grandmother) escaped in 1938 via the Kindertransport through the support of her parents. She was first sent to London to stay with her uncle and in 1939 took a Liberty ship to join her brother in NYC. She was able to keep in touch with her parents until 1940 when communications stopped, and she was never to hear from them again. Berthold (Josie’s grandfather), about age 23, was sent to the USA with his older brother in 1938 while his parents and two younger siblings stayed behind (they later came to the USA in 1939). In the summer of 2022, Josie traveled to Landsberg to visit the family’s former home, store, and town where her grandfather grew up. Josie recently moved to Cincinnati after graduating optometry school. She is a Third-Generation speaker who has been gathering research in an effort to retrace her grandparents’ experiences through Europe.

The Holocaust Speaker Series, held each Wednesday at 11:00 am, features Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors sharing stories of life before, during, and after the Holocaust. Join us on Wednesday, December 14th at 11:00 am via Zoom with Rabbi Eric Slaton.
All of Rabbi Slaton’s family lived in Europe when the Nazis came to power, in Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, his parents, and grandparents lived in Vienna. After the Anschluss on November 11-13, things became very difficult for the Jews of Vienna. His mother’s father committed suicide when he heard the Nazis enter the apartment building. His mother and grandmother were able to travel to London, and his mother was fortunate to be allowed to come to America and live with relatives. She never spoke about her experiences before her early death.
His father was able to get a visa to come to England to study. Two weeks later, he received a visa to travel to Palestine. His parents chose to send him to England because he could get there sooner. His parents tried to escape over the Italian border but were sent back. Their apartment was near the foreign embassies, so they were not harassed as were Jews in other parts of the city. Finally, they were ordered to move because an Aryan woman wanted the apartment. They shared a small room with other families. They were later deported and sent to killing centers.
His father volunteered for the army and was sent to Italy to help with the interrogation of Austrian soldiers who fought for the Nazis. Upon his return, he entered the Northern Illinois of Optometry and was a classmate and friend of Dr. Albert Miller. His parents met in Chicago, married, moved to Minneapolis, and had two children. Upon his retirement, his father wrote extensively about his experiences. His father died 10 years ago.
