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, April 13 at 11:00 am via Zoom with Hagit Limor.

Hagit Limor is the daughter of Holocaust survivor Menachem "Moniek" Limor, who was only 8 years old when the Nazis invaded his hometown of Czestochowa, Poland, in 1939. Through a series of miracles he survived the ghetto, several hideouts, a labor camp, and a cattle car train to Buchenwald Concentration Camp, where, ultimately, American soldiers liberated him in 1945. Of 200 extended family members before the war, only five survived. Hagit is a ten-time Emmy Award-winning freelance journalist after years of working for network affiliates. She also serves as a full professor at the University of Cincinnati CCM Electronic Media Division.

Generously sponsored by Margaret and Michael Valentine and presented in partnership with the Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center, the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, and the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center.
