The event shared the story of a train carrying more than 2,500 Jewish concentration camp prisoners that was liberated by U.S. soldiers near the war’s end. A special thank you to our panelists, partners, City Council, City staff, and everyone who attended and engaged in this meaningful evening. Watch the event recap here.
