Annual Holocaust Remembrance Program
- 2013 HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE PROGRAM
Date: Thursday, 11 April 2013
Time: 7:30 p.m.
Location: Stone Center Theater, Jacksonville State University
Keynote Speaker: Mr. Max Steinmetz, Holocaust survivor
Between 1942 and 1945, from the time he was seventeen until he was twenty, Max Steinmetz was held in captivity in at least five ghettos or camps where he slaved as a laborer. Born in Târgu-Lăpuş, Romania, Max was the only member of his family to survive. When he was liberated in 1945, his 6'1" body weighted only eighty pounds. He immigrated to the U.S. in 1948. (Speaker information courtesy of the Birmingham Holocaust Education Center.)
Speaker Update: Due to illness, Mr. Steinmetz will be unable to speak in person at the Holocaust Remembrance. In lieu, a recent interview with Mr. Steinmetz will be shown.
