Writing Partners
Our volunteer writing partners are people of different ages, life stages and religious, cultural and education backgrounds. They share the desire to learn more about the Holocaust and support survivors in telling their stories in the manner that was meaningful to them.
This experience was incredibly meaningful, and I connected on so many different levels with the survivor. I entered into the program with enthusiasm and some trepidation; however, when I met Peter I was overwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the history, the content of his story and then of course the transcribing! I could not have imagined how this project would touch my life. I feel fortunate to have been able to be witness, to document and to create a personal account of Peter’s history in his own words and, in some small way, to be able to contribute to the amazing work that the Azrieli Foundation is doing to ensure that each history is preserved and given the respect that it deserves. Thanks.
