Please join 3GNY virtually for the first installment of our exciting event series, Jewishness, Activism and Finding Belonging: The Post-Holocaust Diaspora and Intersections with Marginalized Communities. This series will the diverse intersections of Jewish identity and descendants of Holocaust Survivors in the post-WW2 era.

In honor of Black History Month, moderator Gyasi Barber will interview Marione Ingram, Holocaust survivor, Civil Rights activist, and author of two books: The Hands of War and The Hands of Peace. Born in Hamburg in the 1930s, Marione survived the Holocaust in Nazi Germany and the Hamburg Bombing as a child, only to find when she came to the United States that racism was as pervasive in the American South as antisemitism was in Europe.

As a white woman and a Holocaust refugee, Marione was perhaps an unlikely hero in the American civil rights movement; and yet, her core belief in the equality of all people, regardless of race or religion, did not waver. She refused to be quieted and refused to accept bigotry.

This inspiring session with Marione will explore intersectionality between the Jewish and Black community and delve into the shared values of activism, social justice, and inclusion.

Please bring questions for Marione, which will be answered through the Q&A function at the end of the event.
