The Second/Third Generation sponsored its Yom HaShoah program on Sunday afternoon at CBI.
Mark Schonwetter was the guest speaker, who shared his story of surviving the Holocaust with his mother and younger sister. He inspired all of us with his resilience, messages about his past, and how to be our best in the present time.
His daughter, Isabella Fiske, was at his side, moderating the program.
Their family founded The Mark Schonwetter Holocaust Education Foundation, which supports schools around the country, providing grants to give students the opportunities to learn about the Holocaust.
