Living History

Volunteers hearing from Survivors

During the one year stay, our volunteers are asked to interview a person they get to know while living and serving in the United States. Balthasar and Lotte, our ARSP volunteers at the Holocaust Museum and Education Center in Skokie, IL interviewed several Holocaust Survivors.

Together we make the world more peaceful. Every day.
