THE STRENGTH OF A PEOPLE     |   THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

 

The Lakin Holocaust Library & Resource Center is proud to celebrate its 30th anniversary this year! $30 for 30 campaign

Your gift of $30 will allow us to transcribe more than two dozen video testimonies of local Holocaust survivors held at the Lakin HRC. These transcriptions will allow students at Albright College and researchers around the world to better search and 
analyze these important first- person accounts of survival during the Holocaust. This vital addition will ensure that the 
survivors' legacies live on and stories are heard.

A new topic every Friday with coffee, snacks and great discussion! Open to all, begins at 10:30 am.
