HHREC to honor second-generation Holocaust survivors at annual benefit 

The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center (HHREC) will hold its annual benefit, “Safeguarding Our Shared History,” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, at the Westchester Country Club in Harrison. This year HHREC will honor second-generation Holocaust survivors Kathy Grosz-Zaltas and Sam Rosmarin, who will be presented with the Eugene M. & Emily Grant Spirit of Humanity Awards. The program will also feature a performance of “Letters From Anne and Martin,” which combines the iconic voices of Anne Frank and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.  

Grosz-Zaltas is a daughter of Holocaust survivors and serves on the HHREC Advisory Board. She is also an active member of the Center’s GenerationsForward group of second-, third- and fourth-generation descendants who are committed to keeping their families’ Holocaust stories alive. She is the owner and president of the Zaltas Gallery of Fine Jewelry in Mamaroneck. 

Rosmarin is the son of two Holocaust survivors, a member of the HHREC GenerationsForward group and co-host of the HHREC Memory Keepers Story Hour. He has enjoyed a multidecade career as a catastrophic-personal injury litigator and currently devotes himself to mediation and arbitration.
