SUFFERN MUSEUM HIGHLIGHTS HIDDEN HOLOCAUST HISTORYCANCELLED
On Thursday, May 14, 2020 NCJW BCS will travel to Rockland Community College in Suffern, NY to visit the redesigned and expanded Holocaust Museum & Center for Tolerance and Education. Abigail Miller, the museum’s Holocaust Educator, will conduct a private guided tour of the exhibit “Holocaust by Bullets.” The exhibit, based on the work of Father Patrick Desbois, a Roman Catholic priest from Paris, examines the history of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe before the opening of the concentration camps. This is a largely unknown chapter of the Holocaust that should be of interest as it accounts for at least 1/3 of the Holocaust victims. The exhibit details the process of uncovering and documenting the mass killing sites of these early phases of the Holocaust in Eastern Europe. The Jewish Book Council recognized Father Desbois’s book Holocaust by Bullets: A Priest’s Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews as a National Jewish Book Award winner.

Lunch will include an assortment of sandwiches, salads, cookies, fruit and cold drinks. The cost is $70 for members and $80 for non-members.
