CLP and Violins of Hope present Daring to Decide - When Ordinary People Make Extraordinary Decisions
Join us as we hear the stories of seemingly ordinary people, turned extraordinary, as they bravely navigated life-altering choices during World War II, saving tens of thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. Among them were Righteous Among Nations Sergeant Roddie Edmonds— for whom one of the violins has been dedicated —and Ho Feng Shan, consul-general in Vienna during World War II. Our four distinguished guests, Dr. David Frey, Founding Director of the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point Academy, Pastor Christopher Edmonds, son of Sergeant Roddie Edmonds, Bettie Pei-Wen Ho Carlson, granddaughter of Ho Feng Shan, and Brenda Tate, retired Pittsburgh Police Officer, will share their experiences and family stories in a panel discussion with CLP President & Director Andrew Medlar followed by an audience Q&A.
