Speakers Bureau

The Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center is honored to have a group of dedicated Holocaust survivors and descendants of survivors who, as volunteers, make up the Speakers Bureau.  Throughout the year these individuals share their story of survival during the Holocaust at schools, churches, synagogues, and other community groups.  All Speakers Bureau visits are entirely free of charge.  Scroll down to see the members of our Speakers Bureau and to learn more about their stories.
