At least 160,000 Sephardic Jews perished in the Holocaust, yet their stories are not well-known by many. Through the use of archival sources, interviews with survivors, and family histories, what emerges is a picture of shared tragedy with Ashkenazi Jews. The Sephardim experience show us that their suffering stretched across countries, even across continents, and their distinctive characteristics such as speaking Ladino and pronouncing Hebrew words slightly differently than their Ashkenazim brethren, should be studied more widely to further our understanding of the complex phenomenon of the Holocaust.

Please join us for the 16th Annual Powell-Heller Conference for Holocaust Education, November 6-8th, 2024. Register is required, admission is free and open to the public, thanks to the generosity of event donors.
