Interview with Sasha Semenoff by Esther Finder. Semenoff is a Holocaust survivor, and discusses his life after he was liberated from a concentration camp in Europe in 1945.
Photographs of the audience and events held at the joint conference of the World Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust and Descendants and the Generations of the Shoah International.
An essay by Esther Toporek Finder accompanying the photographs describes the event: "Holocaust survivors, along with Clark County students and teachers, sat down to break matzo and bread together at Las Vegas? first Holocaust Education Seder Sunday (April 6) at the Rio Hotel. Three generations from the survivor community gathered with middle and high school students and teachers from elementary, middle, and high schools. The leader for the traditional portion of the service was Rabbi Sanford Akselrad and the Shoah segments were led by Professor Esther Finder. Kevin Janison, from MyNews3, served as host and MC. Both Finder and Janison are children of Holocaust survivors. Ray Fiol lit candles on behalf of the approximately six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and a 7th candle to represent the non-Jewish victims of Nazi atrocity. Music was provided by Cantorial Soloist Lola Rivera. Educator and librarian Susan Dubin shared original poetry as part of the blessing after the meal. Participants dined on foods traditional for Passover: matzo ball soup, roasted chicken with matzo kugel, tsimmis and a non-dairy chocolate dessert."
Mark Weitzman discusses the actions to be taken to continue the mission of the Generations of the Shoah organization with Holocaust remembrance and education, and defeating anti-Semitism.
