About this Program:

Join us this International Holocaust Remembrance Day for a special presentation of the story and music of Rosy Wertheim presented by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, in partnership with the Museum. In music from two different eras of her life, we hear the optimism of an up-and-coming musician, and the defiance of a Dutch-Jewish composer forced underground.

This program was made possible through the generous support of Carole and Ken Adashek in honor of Rachel Miller.

Program: Survivor Hour - Jason Sommer

February 8, 2026 | 12:00 pm

About this Program:

Join us for the first installment of “Survivor Hour” in 2026. After five poetry collections, Jason Sommer recently published his first book of non-fiction, the memoir Shmuel’s Bridge: Following the Tracks to Auschwitz with My Survivor Father. Jason will be in conversation with fellow author and former director of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, David Marwell, about the memoir and the impact of living with the stories of the Holocaust.
