This event is free with a suggested donation More than one million Jewish children were killed during the Holocaust and countless others survived. Some, like Anne Frank, kept diaries in which they confided their hopes, fears, and experiences. Join us for a special virtual reading of excerpts from these diaries, narrated by <strong>Liev Schreiber</strong>, and featuring readings from <strong>Skylar Astin, Andréa Burns, Mandy Gonzalez, Daniel Kahn, Adam Kantor, Telly Leung, Stephanie Lynn Mason, Zalmen Mlotek, Amit Rahav, Eleanor Reissa, Yelena Schmulenson, Alexandra Silber, Abby Stein, Danny Strong,</strong> and more. By giving voice to the written words of some of the Nazis’ youngest victims, we will commemorate their suffering and learn from their courageous and resilient spirits. The event will stream live on the <a href="https://mjhnyc.org/18-voices-a-liberation-day-reading-of-young-writers-diaries-from-the-holocaust/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Museum of Jewish Heritage's website here</a>. <em>January 27 marks International Holocaust Remembrance day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

See “Ways to Watch” below for details on how to access the program Join us as we screen the 2014 documentary, <em>Flory's Flame</em>. The one-hour documentary weaves the life story of NEA National Heritage Fellowship Award winner, Flory Jagoda, with her 2013 Celebration Concert at the US Library of Congress. The combined personal and musical overviews open a window on pre-Inquisition Spanish Jewish life. Flory’s roots go back to that pre-1492 era, then  to the Balkans, Bosnia and Croatia. As the sole surviving Altarac family member, with most of her family killed during World War II, Flory’s life mission has been to continue her family’s cultural legacy through their music. Her strength of spirit shines through her challenging but ultimately triumphant story expressed in the context of the impactful music performed by Flory and 25 fellow musicians in the prestigious and inspiring Library of Congress Celebration Concert. The screening will be followed by a short panel discussion and Q&amp;A featuring some special guests whose names will be announced closer to the event. <p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Information on the Documentary</strong></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><i>Flory’s Flame </i>was produced by <a title="mailto:ellen@voicesandvisions.com" href="mailto:ellen@voicesandvisions.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ellen Friedland</a> and <a title="mailto:curt@voicesandvisions.com" href="mailto:curt@voicesandvisions.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Curt Fissel</a>.
