The Jewish Community of Greater Stowe (JCOGS) in conjunction with the Vermont Holocaust Memorial are planning a tribute to the spirit of resistance—and a solemn remembrance of the Jewish and other victims of the Holocaust, the unprecedented genocide perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its allies during World War Two. The commemoration and
concert will be held at JCOGS, 1189 Cape Cod Road, Stowe, at 4PM on Sunday, April 16 th .

Featured as part of the commemoration will be a concert entitled Whispers From the Past, performed by
Temple Trio, musicians from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra: Laura Markowitz, violin; Ana
Ruesink, viola; and John Dunlop, cello. Musicologist and child of Holocaust survivor, Berta Frank, will
host the event.

“For many of the doomed inmates of Theresienstadt (Terezín) concentration camp in
Czechoslovakia, and other sites of murder and horror, composing and performing music helped to
preserve their souls,” said Debora Steinerman, president and cofounder of the Vermont Holocaust
Memorial, an organizer of the event. “These compositions are vital historical records of a painful
time and afford us a glimpse of some of the feelings experienced by many of these prisoners.”
