THE STRENGTH OF LOVE: HUMANITY & ALTRUISM

“The lives of the victims and Holocaust survivors can teach us about the way love affects the world. By understanding that, we can clarify the way we see the nature of humanity. This affects our most basic beliefs about ourselves and our possibilities in this world. Once we reveal these beliefs, we can learn how to educate the next generations to acts of good altruism which can make this world a much better place.”

I REMEMBER

“The memory of the Holocaust is facing a serious challenge as it must remain both relevant and personal. This must be a high priority so that the younger generations will
Keep it alive. In my presentation, I discuss the idea of memory, and show what and how we can learn from the Holocaust. It is expressed in a manner that is personal and meaningful, so we can become better individuals who are active against the wrongs in our world.”
