Gregg Philipson will present Rescued Evidence & Pieces of the Past: Exploring Antisemitism, the Holocaust & WW II through Artifacts and Memorabilia. At a time when the Holocaust and WWII fade into our collective memories, we believe it is important that we keep alive the testimony and lessons learned from this dark chapter in human history.

Presented by Gregg Philipson, this program promises a unique insight into the collection and narratives contained within the Gregg and Michelle Philipson Collection and Archive. These artifacts, painstakingly preserved, offer a poignant glimpse into the harrowing realities of antisemitism throughout history. Attendees will see genuine artifacts including Jewish-related military items, Holocaust-era materials, and WWII propaganda while hearing compelling stories of bravery and sacrifice from specific American families and servicemen during WWII. Gregg Philipson will share poignant narratives, including Michelle's family's escape from Poland, his father's experiences as a US soldier and concentration camp liberator, and accounts of other US servicemen who played pivotal roles in liberating Europe.

Gregg Philipson, a dedicated curator and custodian of history, will lead attendees on a captivating journey through these artifacts, elucidating their historical context and significance. Through this exploration, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the impact of antisemitism and the importance of preserving these pieces as testaments to the past. This program is free and open to the public. Security will be provided.
