Senator Felder Addresses the Kleinman Holocaust Education Center

On Tuesday, February 23, Senator Felder addressed a crowd at the Kleinman Holocaust Education Center (KHEC), which held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil a new exhibition space that features 40 artifacts from the Holocaust.

The event also included a special ceremony to present tefillin to Menachem Kleinman, the great-grandchild of 91-year-old Auschwitz survivor Ethel Kleinman. Mrs. Kleinman is the mother of Mr. Elly Kleinman, the founder and president of the museum and education center, and grandmother of Mr. Yossie Kleinman, who is Menachem’s father and a KHEC board member and lecturer. Menachem, who turns 13 on March 23rd, is a student of Yeshiva Darchei Torah in Far Rockaway.

A significant crowd attended the event, including KHEC donors, acclaimed singer Lipa Schmeltzer, and more than two dozen classmates of Menachem from Yeshiva Darchei Torah.
