With a Holocaust Survivor for 10
This one-of-a-kind experience offers a rare opportunity to engage with history and one of its most profound witnesses. The package for a group of 10 includes a guided tour of the Holocaust Museum of Orange County's Education Center. This powerful and educational space houses over 70 artifacts from Auschwitz and various concentration camps that were made into art by renowned Holocaust survivor and trailblazer, Mel Mermelstein.
As a survivor of Auschwitz and an outspoken advocate for Holocaust education, Mel Mermelstein dedicated his life to preserving the memories of those lost and ensuring that the lessons of the Holocaust are passed on to future generations. During this exclusive tour, you and your guests will witness firsthand and be able to touch artifacts that tell the stories of those who endured unimaginable hardship. This tour not only provides critical education about the horrific events of the Holocaust but also imparts invaluable lessons about the dangers of unchecked hatred and the need to prevent future genocides.
Following the tour, your group will have the privilege of sharing lunch with a Holocaust survivor. In this rare and intimate setting, you will hear their personal story, ask questions, and gain insight from someone deeply committed to preserving the truth with resilience and moral courage. This experience offers more than a history lesson; it provides a chance to connect with a living witness and reflect on the enduring values of tolerance, integrity, and personal responsibility.
