Hillel, in collaboration with ODEI Intercultural Center Speaker Series, is hosting a Holocaust Remembrance event at SUNY Fredonia.

The event is slated for Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Blue Lounge in the Williams Center.

The program, “A Tailor’s Journey: One Man’s Story of Survival During the Shoah,” will feature speaker Arnon Adler, who will be telling his father — Bernard Adler’s — story. Arnon is the father of SUNY Fredonia senior, 2026 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence recipient and Acting major, Sivan Adler, president of Hillel.

Last year, Sivan edited and published a Holocaust memoir by her grandmother, Irene Adler, entitled, “Who Will Take Care of the Cat?”

The event is supported by the Collingwood Diversity Endowment held at Fredonia College Foundation. It is free and open to the public.
