    Hope

    Irene Zisblatt, Holocaust Survivor Holocaust survivor Irene Zisblatt is an authority in the field of hope. “We have to find a way, we have to try,” she says. We have to use our words to spread hope. “There is no room for hate.” When she was just 13 years old, Irene Zisblatt, along with her…

  • “Love each other, forget about hate.”

    Adele Besserman, Holocaust Survivor Adele Besserman and I sat together for hours. Over a cup of tea and cookies, she told me the stories of her life. I am a stranger to Adele, having met with her only once before, we had lunch so she could “get to know me” and I her. Her generosity…

  • Inclusivity + Diversity = Home

    Last night at ArtServe, Fort Lauderdale’s VIP event titled “HOME” guests were greeted as they walked through the door by a gentleman who boastfully exclaimed “Welcome, welcome home.” A mix of art, music, spoken word and a creative laboratory brought a diverse group of artists together to show the community how they would make a…
