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.
My participation in Sustaining Memories has, I hope, made me a more introspective person. My survivor, Nancy (Nechama) Kleinberg, was just a young teenager during her years in the camps but by dint of her indomitable spirit, strength of character and of heart, she not only survived but also saved the life of the young boy who years later would become her husband. She was and is, in no small measure, a hero. I think about that young girl when I feel hard done by because I’ve had a bad day or because outside forces like Covid-19 have limited my pleasures. I wish I were more like Nancy. In fact, I wish we all were.
