International March of the Living Alumni Spotlight: Alumni Spotlight: Marlene Goldstein (’16, ’18, ’19), HMTC Adults, USA

Marlene Goldstein (’16, ’18, ’19), is an alumna from the HMTC Adults group, whose experience on the March of the Living inspired her to write a memoir detailing her father’s story as a Holocaust survivor. As the one-year anniversary of his death approaches on Yom Kippur, Marlene encourages all to listen and re-tell survivors’ stories, before it is too late.

I was already well into my 50’s when, on a whim, I answered a Facebook pop-up and spoke with Andrea Bolender, leader of the MOTL Long Island HMTC group. I didn’t know at the time how life changing that moment would become.
