Survivor , Hymie Steinmetz speaking at the New School College 7/27/2011

2011-07-27

One of our clients, survivor Hymie Steinmetz, spoke at the New School in NYC at a seminar given on holocaust literature .  The professor, Shamar Hill, is a volunteer of our Connect2 visiting program as well.  When Shamar who is a steady volunteer, asked if I can find a survivor to speak for the class, I made this great "shidduch" between him and Hymie Steinmetz!  Of course, we also handed out materials to the student and faculty members, and hope this will lead to more awareness of the Holocaust , and as Mr. Steinmetz said," the responsibility and job of the young people today to make sure no people suffer like this again."
