Auschwitz: Preserving a Place of Terror

Lunch@65West invites you to join us when the Union League Club of Chicago and The Standard Club welcome Wojciech Soczewica, Director General of the Auschwitz-Birkenau Foundation. 

During this timely, webinar Director General Soczewica will be interviewed by club member Michael Traison.  They will discuss the physical enormity of Auschwitz-Birkenau (20 separate camps), the events that occurred there, its continuing importance in contemporary life - especially in light of last year's global increase in anti-Semitic attacks, and the mission of the Foundation to preserve Auschwitz-Birkenau for future generations. 

 

This program is presented in collaboration with the American Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists, Anti-Defamation League, Chicago Loop Synagogue, Decalogue Society, Jewish Federation of Peoria, Jewish Federation of the Quad Cities, and the Jewish United Fund.
