Celia Gurevitch Jewish Community Library

Jewish High School students throughout Sonoma County are invited to submit essays for the ninth annual contest, established by her children, in honor of Susy Raful, a survivor of concentration camps and an infamous Death March.

The contest seeks the writer’s reflections on the Holocaust (Shoah) by considering a number of questions about their thoughts on the images and impact of the Shoah; what the writer has learned; and how the history of that era will be passed on to future generations.

Detailed information and rules covering the $500 prize can be found here (PDF). Essays are due no later than April 1, 2009. More information 360-3000.
