Last week, Ms. Karen Treiger visited Derech Emunah to speak about her new book, “My Soul is Filled with Joy: A Holocaust Story.”

Ms. Treiger's presentation about her mother and father-in-laws' Holocaust experience intrigued me and my fellow students. We found it highly engaging and were eager to learn more. The speech was thorough and included many real-life stories. We appreciated hearing about the unusual and painful experiences of two Holocaust survivors with a direct connection to the Seward Park community.
