Holocaust Remembrance Week at Mashmaut Center 2025​

Before Holocaust Remembrance Day 2025, the Mashmaut Center led a series of events for the general public and exciting meetings between youth and Holocaust survivors, in collaboration with the municipality, retirees and the city's schools.
20-24.4.2025
On Sunday, April 6, many from the community participated in the "Morning with Meaning" program led by Ruthie Zeidman and Nava Gottlieb at the "Second Generation Tells the Story of the Holocaust" event. Writer Yehudit Schreiber and Esti Shaked, a musician and artist, told the story of their family and the way they pass on the family heritage to future generations.
On Sunday, April 20, the center's director, Dr. Lea Ganor, came to a lecture to teachers at Yonatan Junior high School. The lecture "From the Yellow star to the Blue Star" told the life story of aircrew members who were Holocaust survivors children in World War II. Inbal Raz lectured at the Elikam Club on "The Memory of the Holocaust and Its Meaning."
On Monday, April 21, the biographical docu-drama film of Holocaust survivor Nitza Kaplan, "Nitza's Choice," directed by Uri Barbash, was screened, followed by a panel and discussion with Nitza.
In the evening, Holocaust survivor Blanka Nachalieli, born in Graz Austria, came to share her personal story with the Motzkin Youth, and a multi-generational dialogue took place between Blanka and the youth.
On Tuesday (April 22), actor Gil Danino presented the story of Mishka Zilberstein in the solo play "Life Without Memory," based on Mishka's autobiographical book, which survived as a child in the woods with wolves. For years, Mishka would come to tell his story to students at the Mashmaut Center, and since his passing, the center has been working to convey his story to youth in a variety of ways. After the performance, a discussion was held with Gil Danino, who spoke about the process of creating the play and the experiences from encountering Mishka's story.
On Thursday (April 24), after the Holocaust Remembrance ceremony, Holocaust survivor Henry Etrogi, born in France, came to Yonatan Junior high School in Kiryat Motzkin and told his story to the students. 
In these ways, we give the phrase "To Remember and not forget" a substance and Meaning.
