Carl,
Ten days after coming to the United States, Rae Goldfarb and her mother, Dina, celebrated their first Thanksgiving.
They had endured unimaginable experiences together during the Holocaust, including escaping two ghettos and evading a mass shooting operation. After they were liberated in 1945, Rae and Dina had to wait two and a half years to immigrate to the United States. They finally arrived on November 17, 1947.
“We attended our first Thanksgiving celebration with my aunt, uncle, and cousins,” Rae recalls. “It is very memorable to me because it was a dual celebration for us. We were grateful to finally join my aunt and find a permanent home.” |
| | At our Museum, we are honored to share stories of Holocaust survivors such as Rae, made possible because of your support. Your commitment to our institution allows us to educate people about the dangers of antisemitism and hate, while staying true to the heart of our work: preserving the memory of the Holocaust’s innocent victims.
On behalf of all of us at the Museum, thank you for your support. |
| | Sincerely, | Dana Weinstein
Director, Membership |
