Sharing a resource with the Reading community.

On Monday, March 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Reading Memorial High School Auditorium for an unforgettable evening. Holocaust survivor Tibor Spitz, traveling from Upstate NY for this event, will share his remarkable story of resilience and hope. The evening will begin with a moving violin performance of the Sound of Schindler’s List, setting the tone for a night of reflection and inspiration.

This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand from one of the last living Holocaust survivors, a testament to the strength of the human spirit. Together, we will honor the past, reflect on its lessons, and commit to building a brighter future.

For the safety and comfort of all attendees, security will be present.

Tickets are $20 per person, with a special discounted rate of $10 for students aged 14–18. More details can be seen here: https://www.jewishwakefield.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/6749451/jewish/Evening-with-a-Holocaust-Survivor-March-9.htm
