Join MAGPI, The Gerda and Kurt Klein Foundation and The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum for a unique live webcast event!

One Survivor Remembers -
Gerda Weissmann Klein: Author, Holocaust Survivor and Human Rights Activist 

Date: May 23, 2006
Time: 10:30 a.m. - 11:45 a.m. EDT

Description:

In the winter of 1945, on the day of her liberation from six years of Nazi rule, Gerda Weissmann clung to life at the end of a 350-mile death march. She weighed 68 pounds, her hair had turned white, and she had not had a bath in three years.  She survived with courage, grace and dignity. 

Gerda Weissmann Klein, renowned motivational speaker and Holocaust survivor, teaches each one of us about tolerance, understanding and making a difference.  Gerda Klein's spirit helped her survive six years under Nazi rule; through her story, and her unique perspective, she continues to help each one of us to understand the dangers of hate and extremism.

15 middle/high schools in the Pennsylvania/New Jersey region will participate in a live interactive videoconference event with Gerda Weissmann Klein. We invite you, your colleagues and students to watch the live webcast!
