April 1, 2024

Farmington Hills, Mich. – The Zekelman Holocaust Center (The HC) is pleased to announce an exclusive members-only event, “Dedication,” performed by acclaimed pianist Roger Peltzman, on Sunday, April 7, at 1 p.m.

Roger Peltzman, a distinguished New York pianist, brings his deeply moving multimedia show, “Dedication,” to The HC. Through music and storytelling, Peltzman shares the poignant journey of his family’s tragic history fleeing the Nazis in war-torn Europe. Drawing on a diverse range of musical influences, from the blues to Chopin, Peltzman centers the narrative on his uncle Norbert Stern, a young piano prodigy whose promising life was cut short at Auschwitz at the age of 21. Attendees are invited to join for an unforgettable performance that pays tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and honors the memory of those lost during the Holocaust.

This special event serves as a token of appreciation to the valued members of The Zekelman Holocaust Center, whose support enables The HC to fulfill its mission of teaching the lessons of the Holocaust and combating hatred and antisemitism, often through special performances, screenings, and guest lectures.
