Holocaust Survivor Speaker Series Returns to UACCM

Klayman is
a speaker volunteer from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in
Washington, D.C. Each speaker over the last eight years has had a unique and
haunting story of how they survived the Holocaust, and Klayman’s is no
different. Born in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, Klayman’s
young life was soon disrupted by Nazi Germany’s invasion of her hometown. She will tell a harrowing story of survival,
including living in hiding and depending on the grace of family and neighbors
to aid them and keep the secret of their heritage.
As time
moves forward, we have fewer and fewer opportunities to hear first-hand the
experiences of those persecuted during the Holocaust. UACCM hosts a different Holocaust Survivor
speaker every year, so that as many of these stories can be told to the central
Arkansas community in the little time left.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum encapsulates in its slogan
why hearing these stories is so important: “Never Again Begins with You.”
Please
join us at one of these events as we welcome Dora Klayman to Arkansas. For more
