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, September 1 at 11:00 am via Zoom with Mark Heiman.
Mark tells the story of his family, originally from Demmelsdorf, a small farming community in Bavaria. Mark’s grandfather, Karl, served in the German army in WWI. He later moved to Munich where he established a textile business and raised a family. Mark’s father, Paul, was 12 years old when he witnessed his Jewish school being burned down the day after Kristallnacht. Arrested on Kristallnacht, Karl was interned in Dachau concentration camp. After 30 days, Karl left Dachau and was given 48 hours to leave Germany. The journey took the family to Switzerland, France, England, and finally to Cincinnati where they settled and thrived. Mark also discusses events leading to the Holocaust and its relevance today.

ABOUT THIS VIRTUAL EVENT
The 2015 Iran nuclear agreement, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), continues to attract controversy and raise serious questions about global security. Since the initiation of the agreement under then President Barack Obama and the Trump administration’s subsequent withdrawal from the deal, we’ve witnessed an expansion of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, numerous regional incidents that risked major conflict escalation, economic sanctions levied by Washington against Tehran, and the continuation of proxy wars throughout the region. President Joe Biden has said the United States will return to the JCPOA if Iran resumes compliance. Join the Jewish Federation of Cincinnati’s Jewish Community Relations Council and Ambassador Dennis Ross, counselor and William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, for a conversation that will break down the current dynamics of the JCPOA and uncover perspectives on the Biden administration’s approach to Iran.
Thursday, May 20 | 12:00 p.m.

The Covid-19 pandemic has ushered in radical shifts in the relationships among children, parents, and teachers. In many instances, children and their teachers have been forced apart, and children and their parents have been resituated in close quarters. This shift has ushered in both serious challenges and profound opportunities for building meaningful and educative relationships between children and the adults who love them. Learn about how parents, educators, and clergy can partner to support the intellectual and emotional needs of children, and of one another, during this time.
Presented in partnership with the Jewish Grandparents Network and Lilith magazine.
