Testimonials & Topics | ADENA BERNSTEIN

Adena will make every effort to appear either in-person or virtually to speak to students or

members of an organization, congregation, or club about her book. Adena can also share photos and information about her visit to her grandmother's hometown, now located in western Ukraine (2021). Adena does not accept a speaker's fee for her time.

We were honored to welcome Adena J. Bernstein, author of Living Among the Dead: My Grandmother’s Holocaust Survival Story of Love and Strength, to Cocopah Middle School.

Her grandmother’s powerful story of Holocaust survival, resilience, and love truly brought history to life and inspired our students in a profound way. The personal account of sharing water in the attic when there was not enough for everyone, and the discussion about how survivors differ in their willingness to speak about their experiences, deeply resonated with our students, and sparked meaningful conversations.
