- **Event Name**: Holocaust Survivor Story: Sammy Borenstein, Second Generation 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 05 Jan, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Sammy Borenstein, a second-generation Holocaust survivor, will share his parents’ story and their life in New Orleans during this evening of remembrance and local history.

Isak and Pola Borenstein arrived in New Orleans in 1951, traveling by train from Baltimore after securing sponsors who guaranteed their employment, an essential requirement for survivors seeking entry into the United States. 

Their story reflects the hard work, adaptability, and determination that defined many survivor families.

At that time, many Holocaust survivor families in New Orleans who were bonded by their shared experiences formed the New American Social Club. Within this circle, survivors supported one another and began holding Holocaust commemorations. 

Through his testimony, Sammy Borenstein will offer an account of survival, resettlement, and integration into New Orleans life--as well as the lasting impact of being raised by parents who carried the weight of unimaginable history.
