Join us for a compelling Virtual Coffee Encounter with Jan and Lena Waldert, third-generation descendants of Nazis living in Germany and active participants in the March of Life movement (known in the U.S. as the March of Remembrance). They will share their journey of confronting difficult family histories under National Socialism, breaking silence, rejecting antisemitism, and standing publicly with the Jewish people and Israel.
