Tonight the chapter hosted its 2nd annual Yom HaShoah Holocaust Memorial Event. Over 60 members of the Temple community attended the event which featured a kosher catered dinner and Holocaust speaker Anne Winthrop telling her story. Anne, a survivor of the Kindertransport Organization, told her story then took questions from the audience. The event was held in the prestigious Great Court at Mitten Hall. Anne generously donated several of her own books to the chapter and to the University's library on our behalf. We are incredible thankful to B'nai Brith for helping put together the event. Temple Student Government and Hillel also generously supported the event both financially and with promotion. Joe Littman (2009) concluded his time as an undergraduate as the main planner of this event. We look forward to hosting this event, in conjunction with other organizations, for years to come.
