The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust presented “18 Voices: A Liberation Day Reading of Young Writers’ Diaries From The Holocaust” to commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 76th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
More than one million Jewish children were killed during the Holocaust, and countless others survived. Some, like the well-known and widely-read Anne Frank, kept diaries in which they confided their hopes, fears and experiences.
The Museum’s presentation, narrated by Ray Donovan star and Tony Award-winner Liev Schreiber, will feature young actors and public figures reading diary excerpts.
Readers include: Mayim Bialik, Mandy Gonzalez, Arielle Hader, Adam Kantor, Caissie Levy, actor Telly Leung, Stephanie Lynne Mason, Zalmen Mlotek, Amit Rahav, Eleanor Reissa, Alexandra Silber, author and rabbi Abby Stein, Danny Strong, Yelena Shmulenson and Michael Zegen.
“18 Voices: A Liberation Day Reading of Young Writers’ Diaries From The Holocaust” is curated by Alexandra Zapruder and based on her book “Salvaged Pages: Young Writers’ Diaries of the Holocaust.”
“By giving voice to the written words of some of the Nazis’ youngest victims, the Museum honors their courage and suffering. We hope their resilient spirits will inspire our audiences,” said the Museum’s President and CEO Jack Kliger.
The Museum presented the event online along with its JTube distribution partners around the globe.
