Bearing Witness for My Family: Surviving the Holocaust
Monday, April 20, 2026, 7:30pm.

Gerald Zaks is a second-generation Holocaust survivor who has dedicated himself to preserving the memory of the Holocaust. After retiring from a successful career in IT, he began researching and documenting his parents’ experiences during WWII. Their story begins in 1937, when his parents were 17 and 18 years old, and traces their lives from before WWII, how they were selected for and then survived multiple concentration camps and death marches, how they were liberated, and how they rebuilt their lives in America. His presentation includes historical records, actual NAZI documentation, and audio clips from an interview he conducted with his parents in 1980. His presentation offers a deeply personal story about the human experience of the Holocaust. The presentation does NOT contain any “horrific” pictures and is both interesting and appropriate for adults as well as younger audiences.
