Holocaust Group To Meet Nov. 19

WOODBURY — Holocaust survivors and children of survivors are invited to a breakfast meeting on Sunday, November 19, at 10 am at the office of the Federation: Jewish Communities of Western Connecticut, 73 Main Street South in Woodbury.

The speaker will be Debbie Oberman, a licensed clinical social worker who is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. She will discuss the loss of a parent who is a Holocaust survivor and what that means to people who are second generation.

The Second generation and holocaust Survivors Group was formed two and a half years ago for people who want to get together to discuss issues connected with being survivors or the children of survivors. Discussion range from sharing stories and experiences to helping people claim reparations. The group has been growing and evolving, and 45 different people from all over the state have attended the meetings, which cover a wide range of topics. There are usually a dozen people at each meeting. The Sunday morning talks are friendly, informal, and very much appreciated by those who attend.

New people are always welcome to attend these meetings, which are free of charge and sponsored by the Brownstein Jewish Family Service of the Jewish Federation. Please RSVP for this meeting, as a light breakfast will be served. For more information, contact Debby Horowitz, program director of Brownstein Jewish Family Service, at 203/263-5121, extension 304.
