Volunteer Learning Series with the Education Team: Vedem & Ghetto Youth Resistance

Resistance does not always take the form of armed rebellion – it can be as simple as reading a book or picking up a pen to write a poem. To the children of Terezín between 1942 and 1944, these seemingly simple acts broke rules and endangered their lives, but still they persisted. During this session, volunteers will learn the history of the resilient children who created art and wrote about their experiences surrounded by the brutality of the Holocaust, particularly about the illegally published magazine Vedem and the teenage boys who created it.

This session will be at Am Shalom synagogue at 840 Vernon Ave., Glencoe, IL 60022, and will begin at 10 a.m. and will go through 12 p.m. Kosher refreshments will be provided.
