In this program, the next in our series of presentations by the children of Holocaust Survivors (2Gs), Meryl Menashe presented the story of her father-in-law Nissim Menashe and two other family members, all of whom grew up in the thriving Jewish community of Salonica, Greece before the war. Out of 58 known family members from Greece who experienced the Nazi invasion, they are the only three that survived. Meryl also shared a family connection to Michel Assael, whose “Auschwitz Symphonic Poem” will debut at a Carnegie Hall performance on April 20.
