April 2024

By Bonnie Shaw

Temple Kol Ami, in collaboration with Winthrop University's Department of Political Science, Philosophy, Religion and Legal Studies; the Peace, Justice, and Conflict Resolution Studies program; and the International and Global Studies program, is honored to present “Rescued: The Story of a Child Holocaust Survivor.” The event will feature Holocaust survivor Suly Chenkin, who will share her remarkable story of survival, a testament to her parents' immense sacrifice during a time of unimaginable atrocity. At the age of 83, Chenkin's reflections on resilience, compassion, and the destructive nature of hate, "Anger, hate only destroys you," resonate deeply with all who hear her story.

The presentation will be introduced by Alan Resnik, Chenkin's cousin and a member of Temple Kol Ami, underscoring the personal connection and significance of her story to the community. This event is scheduled for Sunday, April 14, 2024, at 3 p.m. at Dinah’s Place in The DiGiorgio Campus Center at Winthrop University, located at 2020 Alumni Dr., Rock Hill, SC 29732. Attendees are invited to join and witness firsthand the powerful narrative of survival and hope that Chenkin brings to life.
