SUMMARY:Americans and the Holocaust Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Holocaust was the systematic\, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. Holocaust history raises important questions about what the international community\, including the United States\, could have done to stop the rise of Nazism in Germany and its assault on Europe’s Jews. Questions include: What did Americans know? How did Americans respond? What more could have been done? \nAmericans and the Holocaust looks closely at America’s role in this history. The United States alone could not have prevented the Holocaust\, but more could have been done to save some of the six million Jews that were killed. This exhibition examines the motives\, pressures\, and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism\, war\, and genocide. \nLearn more here.

SUMMARY:Generations Speaker - Lee Goldman Kikel
DESCRIPTION:“Generations Speakers are the children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. They have all been recruited\, vetted\, and coached by the Holocaust Center staff and veteran Generations Speakers to develop presentations about their survivor relative’s story. The Generations Speakers are all extremely passionate about what they do: preserving their family legacy; making sure that future generations hear a factual\, well-researched\, personal account of a Holocaust survivor; and most importantly\, never forget what their parents and/ or grandparents experienced.” ~https://hcofpgh.org/resources/speakers/ \nBook sale and discussion will take place after the presentation. Learn more here. \nSpeaker Bio: \nLee Goldman Kikel grew up in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh\, where she spent many of her early years in her family’s jewelry business\, both as a child and an employee. \nLee’s father\, Melvin Goldman\, did not talk much about his childhood in Poland\, or his family. In the 1970s\, he began recording details of his experiences on cassette tapes\, which lay dormant until 2015\, when Lee found them and finally listened to his testimony. Lee honored his wishes to transcribe his story as a book\, published in 2019 as Perseverance: One Holocaust Survivor’s Journey From Poland to America. In April 2023\, Pittsburgh’s Prime Stage Theatre debuted a theatrical adaptation of her book\, entitled Perseverance\, written by playwright L. E. McCullough and generously supported by a National Endowment for the Arts grant. \nOver the years\, she has told her family’s story to many audiences\, and she has also become a generations speaker as part of the Holocaust Center of Pittsburgh. She has discussed the Holocaust and anti-semitism with diverse audiences around the region and beyond. These engagements have fostered multidisciplinary ways to reach audiences of all ages and in a variety of subject areas\, and have taught her both the importance of sharing Holocaust education and the value of presenting the content in engaging ways. \nGoldman Kikel is a lifelong Pittsburgh resident\, having earned both a BS in psychology and a master’s degree in education from the University of Pittsburgh. She also worked in the mental health field as a rehabilitation counselor.
