Welcome to Remember the Women Institute

Women, Theatre, and the Holocaust International Initiative
Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Yesterday's invitation to AHO from National Jewish Theater Foundation to participate in an inaugural event of dramatic Remembrance Readings is a welcome coincidence for us at Remember the Women Institute. For months, we have designated that date to inaugurate our Educational Unit on Women, Theatre, and the Holocaust.

In commemoration of Yom HaShoah, on Monday evening, 7:00 PM, April 13, 2015, we are presenting an evening of Women, Theatre, and the Holocaust, featuring theatrical excerpts, the launch of an educational unit, and a panel discussion. The event will take place at Center for Jewish History, 15 West 16th Street, New York City, in cooperation with American Jewish Historical Society and All About Jewish Theatre - The Holocaust Theatre Online Collection, an Israel-based organization. We would be pleased to also have our event considered as part of this initiative by National Jewish Theater Foundation.

The Educational Unit on Women, Theatre, and the Holocaust (to be continually updated) will be available after April 13 at www.rememberwomen.org. It will also be a feature of a virtual Holocaust Theatre On-line Collection encyclopedia, part of the work of All About Jewish Theatre, scheduled for release in 2016.
We believe that teaching about theatre and the Holocaust is an important way to augment memorialization.

Shalom,
Rochelle G. Saidel, Founder and Executive Director, Remember the Women Institute
