Wichita Community Holocaust Commemoration April 26, 2017

Please join us for the Wichita Community Holocaust Commemoration on Wednesday, April 26 at 7:00 p.m.  Our commemoration will be held in the Dugan-Gorges Center, Newman University, 3100 W. McCormick St, Wichita, Kansas.

Survivor Rachel Goldman Miller is our guest speaker. In 1942, nine-year-old Rachel was sent into hiding outside of Paris. Rachel never saw her family again.  In Auschwitz Ms. Miller lost 93 family members.  "I tell my story," she says, "It keeps my family alive."

The service will include readings and musical performances.  Works to be performed are Sonata for Two Violins by Mordecai Seter, "The Butterfly" from I Never Saw Another Butterfly: A Musical Memorial by Charles Davidson, and "We Know Every Child Here" from Brundibar by Hans Krasa.  Performances will be by musicians Laura Hammes Black, Lauren Betts, Becky Schmidt, Martiya Schmidt, and Sarah Chocron.
