Selfhelp Community Services, UJA-Federation of New York, Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School and the Museum of Jewish Heritage, A Living Memorial to the Holocaust present:
WE ARE HERE
This unique performance is the culmination of seven months of heartfelt collaboration between five Holocaust survivors and sixteen students. It honors and shares the survivors’ stories, celebrates these extraordinary individuals, and highlights the life-changing lessons they have imparted to the students. The performance is created based on the stories told by the Holocaust survivors to the high school students. On the stage, the survivors will be narrators while students will re-enact their wartime experiences.
We hope you will join us as we bear witness.

Witness Theater was conceived by Irit and Ezra Dagan and developed by JDC-Eshel in Israel. It was brought to New York in 2012 by Selfhelp Community Services, Inc. This year’s Witness Theater Program is a collaboration of Selfhelp, UJA-Federation of New York, Yeshivah of Flatbush Joel Braverman High School and the Museum of Jewish Heritage. The program also receives generous support from Carol and Carl Hess, the Miriam and Arthur Diamond Charitable Trust, and the Anderman Family. Selfhelp’s services to Holocaust survivors are generously funded by the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference)”.
