Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center

The Holocaust Museum & Cohen Education Center and WGCU are proud to present a special program on October 27th at the Hilton Naples from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Renowned filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick will join us virtually to discuss their latest release: The U.S. and the Holocaust. The film by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein dispels the myth that Americans did not know the severity of the persecution of Jews in Europe.

The GenShoah SWFL group welcomes children and grandchildren of Holocaust Survivors. It provides special programs and get-togethers connecting 2nd generation (2G) and 3rd (3G) generation families living in or spending time in SWFL.

The commemoration of World War II and the Holocaust takes many forms. One of the most visibly distinct could be the postage stamp on your daily mail. Postage stamps have long been a visually appealing way for countries to mark anniversaries and events and memorialize people. Countries often had design contests or commissioned special artwork for these stamps.
