Holocaust

"YOU ARE THE FUTURE"

A musical/multimedia program in commemoration of the Holocaust

Naomi Miller, singer and recording artist, is also the child of survivors. Born in a displaced person's camp in Landsberg, Germany, she came to the United States with her parents when she was 2 years old. Her parents were each the sole survivors of their families.

Naomi has performed her program, "You Are The Future," most recently at the Terezin (Theresienstadt) Concentration Camp's theatre where the imprisoned children who perished once sang. She has also performed this program in synagogues, churches, elementary and high schools, colleges and community centers throughout the Tri-State area, including several interfaith services. Wherever she performs, she evokes a wide range of emotions in her audiences. There are tears. There is laughter. There is understanding. There is hope. There is a charge to the next generations to "Never Forget."

Songs include those sung in the ghettoes and those of the partisans, as well as songs written especially for Naomi and songs written by Inge Auerbacher, child survivor of Terezin Concentration Camp. At one point, Naomi poignantly portrays her mother who encourages the audience not to forget the Yiddish songs that she and her siblings loved in their youth.

The program is enhanced by a moving power point presentation, coordinated with each song.

" You are absolutely extraordinary. You have a true gift. You sing with your Jewish soul and a song in your heart. The choice of theme, "You Are The Future," music and narration was so sensitive to the subject of the Holocaust. Your singing and narration transported all of us into a special sacred place." Cantor Charles Romalis- Temple Beth Tikvah

"Your narratives, interspersed with your own personal and poignant reflections as a Second Generation child of survivors mesmerized the entire audience and especially the students of our Religious school with meaningful pedagogical significance that I am confident will continue to nurture their Jewish identity in the years ahead." Mary Sheywasser, Religious School Director, Pinebrook Jewish Center
