Have you ever wanted to learn about a time in history from those that lived through it? We have a few unique volunteer positions available to visit with Holocaust Survivors.
The first survivor is female and from Opeln, Germany. She would prefer a female visitor and interested to share her story if the visitor desires that.
The second survivor is male and born in Lithuania. He would prefer a male visitor and interested to share his story as well.
Volunteers should enjoy working with older adults. Friendly visitors provide a sense of belonging/community and brighten someone else's day. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please contact Sherry Waitsman 860-761-7080 for more information.
