Project: Witness Theater
Witness Theater brings Holocaust survivors and high school students together to memorialize stories of survival. Guided drama therapy helps members explore issues of war, loss, and trauma—while forming deep relationships. In the final staged production, students portray the experiences of the survivors, while the survivors narrate their stories.
Originally established in Germany in 1934 to help Jews affected by Nazi restrictions, The Blue Card now works in the U.S. to provide direct financial assistance to Holocaust survivors.

KAVOD provides emergency aid to Holocaust survivors in need. KAVOD was created in 2015 to help Holocaust survivors live the remainder of their lives comfortably and with dignity.
