The Lens of the Holocaust Victims

Elly Kleinman emphasizes the vital importance of teaching today's and tomorrow's generations the lessons of the Holocaust. For over 70 years the story of observant Jewish victims and the role of faith in the death camps has been overlooked. During lectures and tours, Elly Kleinman and the AAMM staff is planning on educating the public on the religious perspective of the Holocaust.

Holocaust history has to a large extent been about what occurred to the Jews. When focusing on the individual devastated by genocide, by default it becomes a perpetrator history. When you talk about what happened to the victim, the human story gets sublimated," said Elly Kleinman, Founder & President of the Amud Aish Memorial Museum (AAMM) & Kleinman Holocaust Education Center (KHEC) in Brooklyn.
