* WHOSE VOICE INSPIRES US TODAY AND ALWAYS *

HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY, JANUARY 27, 2019


	A portrait of Edgar in Terezín by Leo Haas. Private collection.

Our memories of Terezín and Auschwitz survivor Edgar Krasa embody all that we feel on Holocaust Remembrance Day: profound gratitude for his voice and all he taught us about the past -- and hope for the future in the hands of a new generation.

We thank Edgar for his tireless work leading TMF education programs and his poignant inspiration for our ongoing concerts, Krasa-Schaechter commissions, and Holocaust education programs in the U.S. and Europe.

Stay tuned for TMF commission news plus photos from our upcoming "Do Not Forget Me" education production coming to Westchester this spring.
