Julie Kohner, Founder of Voices of the Generations, spoke to 500 students, grades 9 – 12, on Thursday,  May 1, at Hayden Catholic High School in Topeka, Kansas. The event was held in  the school gymnasium. Julie was welcomed by Principal Mark Madsen and Assistant Principal Michael Monaghan.

Tonight, Wichita State University and the Wichita Commemoration Council hosted a community wide Yom Ha Shoah program that included Voices of the Generations founder, Julie Kohner, as the guest speaker. More than 100 members of the community attended the program, held at WSU.

A very special Yom Ha Shoah program was presented this afternoon at American Jewish University, with Julie Kohner as the guest speaker. In honoring the memory of 6 million through the telling of not just one, but three personal stories from second generation survivors. With Julie today were her cousin, Illana Bloch, daughter of Dr. Gotfried Bloch, Hanna Bloch Kohner’s brother, and also a survivor of Aushwitz, and Rene Florsheim, daughter of Eva Florsheim, Hanna’s dear friend who had also survived the same four camps as Hanna.

Throughout the presentation, the emphasis continued to come back that it is up to the next generation to continue to share the legacy of the Holocaust. And one way to continue this is through contact with survivors and their children. Sadly, there are fewer survivors today, and the responsibility has to fall upon the next generation so the the words “we must never forget” continue to have meaning.
