Experience the moving story of Czech-born Holocaust survivor David Moskovic through video testimonial, followed by a talk on “The Enduring Importance of Eyewitness Accounts” by Professor Jennifer Evans and a Q&A session with Mr. Moskovic and Professor Evans.
In this moving presentation, the Centre for Holocaust Education & Scholarship (CHES) will screen a 30-minute video testimonial featuring Ottawa resident David Moskovic. In the late 1930s, the fates of Moskovic and his family were sealed when the Nazis came to power and the world turned a blind eye to the gathering storm. The family was ultimately sent to Auschwitz, where most of them perished. With unflinching clarity, Moskovic describes life before, during and after the Holocaust—a story reflecting the fate of millions who might have been saved if countries like ours had taken steps to welcome them.
The film will be followed by a short talk on “The Enduring Importance of Eyewitness Accounts” by Professor Jennifer Evans and a Q&A session with Mr. Moskovic and Professor Evans.
