Featured Speaker

Dr. Milton Zweig is the child of Holocaust survivors. His family’s story is a powerful testament to resilience. From surviving Kristallnacht to fleeing Germany and enduring unimaginable loss, Milton’s parents and grandparents faced extraordinary challenges during one of history’s darkest chapters.
 

For more than 50 years, Milton has worked to preserve these stories. His mission is clear: to ensure that the voices of those who can no longer speak are never forgotten. Today, he leads the Zweig Foundation, dedicated to Holocaust and genocide education. His words will inspire us to remember, reflect, and act because memory is our most powerful tool against hate.

Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Yom HaZikaron, and Yom Hashoah are deeply interconnected days in Israel's collective memory.

Together, they underscore the significance of remembrance, resilience, and the continual pursuit of strong and flourishing Jewish communities, both in Israel and the Diaspora.

The United Jewish Federation of Tidewater invites you to join us in commemorating these important occasions and to learn more about them.  Please visit our Resource Page.
