Z andman was born in 1927 in Grodno\, then Poland\, and survived the Holoc aust in a secret hiding he shared with his uncle and 3 other Jews for 17 months. During his hiding he was taught by his uncle\, an engineer\, ma thematics and physics. After the war he went to France and studied physi cs and engineering. In the early 60s he moved to the United States and e stablished Vishay co-operation. Some 39 patents are named after his name . In Israel\, which he visits frequently\, he owns 6 companies.

Including archive footage\, f amily photos and interviews with Shimon Pertes and Ariel Sharon.\n\n[/vc _column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text css=""]M ORE ABOUT\n“Spots of Light: To Be a Woman in the Holocaust”\nThis ex hibit explores the unique voice of Jewish women during the Holocaust. It focuses on examining the position of women during the Holocaust and the ways in which they coped with and responded to unforeseen situations. T he Nazi ideology viewed women as agents of fertility. This ideology iden tified the Jewish woman as an element that must be exterminated to thwar t the rise of future generations of Jews. For these reasons\, the Nazis treated women as prime targets for annihilation. Jewish women inhabited a society that was conservative and patriarchal\, with males as heads of household and women discharging traditional roles at home or helping to make a living. Accordingly\, women did not participate in the leadershi p that was tasked with shepherding the Jewish public during the Holocaus t. Instead\, Jewish women assumed the main family role – the “affirm ation of life”: the attempt to survive in any situation. Women in the Holocaust applied their minds to a place that deprived them of their min ds\; brought strength to a place where they had no strength. And in a pl ace where they and their families had no right to live\, they marched al l the way to death and invested every additional moment of life with mea ning. It is these women’s voices that we wish to sound and whose stori es to tell.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_ column_text css=""]\nBrought to you in partnership with Congregation Oha v Zedek\, Friedman JCC\, Temple B’nai B’rith and Temple Israel\n[/vc _column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width="1/3"][/vc_co lumn][vc_column width="1/3"][contact-form-7 id="12788"][vc_column_text c ss=".vc_custom_1744630892179{margin-top: 35px !important\;}"]Please cont act Barbara Sugarman at 570-824-4646 or b.sugarman@nepajca.org with any questions.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/3"][/vc_colum n][/vc_row] URL;VALUE=URI:https://friedmanjcc.org/events/yom-hashoah/ UID:urn:uuid:89ae9710-8ffb-4225-b807-67e3e180eb90 STATUS:CONFIRMED ORGANIZER: DTSTAMP:20260416T185253Z DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250424T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250424T210000 LOCATION:Friedman JCC\, 613 S J Strauss Lane\, Kingston\, Pa 18704 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
