More than 100 Holocaust Survivors at the UJO Outing Last Week


Excerpt from Yiddish article in Der Yid’s May 24, 2019 edition



Brooklyn, NY – It was a beautiful scene as more than 100 women, all  Holocaust survivors, participated in an inspiring outing last Wednesday, May 22 to Gulliver's Gate in NYC. Attendees enjoyed the visit, which included the technologically advanced, interactive, and immersive world of miniatures, the enriching program, and the nutritious lunch. The women also participated in singing Yiddish melodies, which provided the attendees with further inspiration.

“It’s a great honor for us to bring together this wonderful generation,” says Rabbi David Niederman, UJO Executive Director and President,  “who managed to rebuild a beautiful Jewish life in America and Williamsburg.  I want to thank our devoted staff for the investment of the countless long hours they put into coming up with this program, which proved to be meaningful to all of the attendees and offered encouragement and inspiration as well.”
