Evening of Hope 2021
November 17, 2021 @ 7:00PM — 8:30PM Eastern Time (US & Canada)
A virtual community gathering to celebrate Voices of Hope's 13 years, to present the L'Dor V'Dor Award to Sharone Kornman and to thank our donors and constituents. We will be joined by Jori Epstein, a sports reporter for USA TODAY. She crafts feature, investigative, news and analysis coverage focusing on the Dallas Cowboys and National Football League. In March, she published her first book: Holocaust survivor Max Glauben’s memoir, The Upstander: How Surviving the Holocaust Sparked Max Glauben's Mission to Dismantle Hate. This memoir explores Max’s mischievous childhood and teen years as a go-to ghetto smuggler. Max journeys from displaced person to American immigrant and Korean veteran. He reveals how he ached as he dared to court love and rear children. For decades, he bottled up his trauma. Then he realized: He could transform his pain into purpose. Infused with raw emotion and vivid detail, historical records and Max’s poignant voice, this memoir relays the true story of the harrowing violence and dehumanization Max endured. It relays Max’s powerful lifetime commitment to actively thwarting hate and galvanizing resilience. Max insists you, too, can transform your adversity into your greatest strength.In the seventy-five years since his liberation, Max has ceased to ask himself, “Why me?” Instead, he reframes his focus, eager to partner with you and ask: “What can we do next?” To purchase the book prior to the event, go amazon or bookshop.org.
