On March 6, Holocaust Community Services with support from Maot Chitim of Greater Chicago, hosted the first Birthday Shabbat Lunch of the year. Several of our talented Survivors shared their artwork, poetry, and performed songs, bringing something new and inspiring to our Shabbat lunch events. Together we celebrated Purim, the soon arrival of spring, and the January-April birthdays of our community members. We were especially honored that one of our beloved survivors, who turned 102 years young just last week, was able to join us for the festivities. Rabbi Stern opened the celebration with a Shabbat blessing, after which Survivors enjoyed a kosher lunch, singing performances by ShireiNU, Northwestern University’s student acappella group, poetry readings, and more. It was a musical and energetic afternoon for Holocaust survivors.

ABOUT THE FILM: In the late 1930s, Hugo Sichel gave two tablecloths to his friend Paul Römhild, shortly before Sichel was deported and killed. After eighty years with the Römhild family in Fulda, they have been returned to Sichel’s great‑nephew. This film tells how these tablecloths came to symbolize compassion and the enduring friendship between the two men
