Event Details:
We have reserved this date (November 4th at 1 pm) for our Sacred Connections guests for an event at ICGC called ‘Know Your Neighbor’ Tour.
The ICGC is an “open” Center, where Muslims can worship, learn and gather socially. They also welcome their neighbors, friends and colleagues of all faiths to come and learn about Islam and get to know their fellow Americans who are Muslim and their commitment to community and service.
The presentation and tour will last close to two hours. When visiting the Center, it is requested that women wear slacks or long skirts, long-sleeved shirts and bring a scarf to cover their heads with when entering the main Mosque. Men are also requested to wear slacks and sleeved shirts. A $2 per person suggested donation is requested.
Register HERE.

Join Mats Michaelsen as he guides you through the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center’s museum. Mats is from Ilsede, Germany where, one year ago, he finished high school and will start studying once he returns home this August. During his time in school, Mats tried to learn as much as possible about the processes that led to the Holocaust in his country and is still interested in improving his understanding of the time through different perspectives. He likes to share his experience in growing up in the society of the perpetrators but is also keen to exchange that with people coming from a different history. As a young German, he feels the responsibility to keep the memory of this horrific atrocity alive and make an effort to improve the world we all live in.
This motivation led him to apply for an international volunteer program, Action Reconciliation Service for Peace (ARSP). This organization sends young people to different countries in Europe, Israel, and the U.S. to work with victims of the Holocaust, at educational facilities, or with marginalized people. Their work aims at creating dialogue between different people and reducing prejudices, thus building a society for everybody. During this special museum tour, Mats will reflect on his year of volunteer work at the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center, where he’s been an invaluable asset to our work.
This is Mat’s last official museum tour before returning home to Germany, so you won’t want to miss this opportunity.
