Live Theatre at Or Ami: Never Forget
Sunday, November 2 – 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm PT (In-Person)
Compiled and written for the stage by Charlie Seigel, Never Forget is a theatrical experience that brings together monologues and scenes from Holocaust literature alongside contemporary reflections on antisemitism. The stories are told through the voices of children who lived through the Holocaust, brought to life by young Jewish actors of today. This creates a bridge between generations, memory, and identity. The performance offers an emotional and educational journey, making Holocaust history deeply personal and urgently relevant. With a short Q&A following the 40-minute play, the entire program runs approximately one hour and invites meaningful reflection and dialogue. | For audiences age 12 and older.
Cost: $18 per person. Funds will support Holocaust Education
