Chhange's annual Yom HaShoah program will include music provided by a cellist, violinist, and Cedar Drive Middle School choir, as well as a candle-lighting ceremony led by local Holocaust Survivors.
The program also features Chad S.A. Gibbs, PhD, the Zucker/Goldberg Endowed Chair and Director of the Zucker/Goldberg Center for Holocaust Studies at the College of Charleston, who will shed new light on the Treblinka II uprising, one of the most awe-inspiring episodes of Jewish resistance during the Shoah. His new book, "Survival at Treblinka: Geography, Gender, and Social Networks in Jewish Resistance," foregrounds the actions of women prisoners for the first time, revealing their central place in this story after many years of silence and neglect.
