An Evening of Dialogue, Memory & Hope Brings Together Holocaust Survivor and Muslim-Jewish Peacebuilders
MSHEF and Sharaka will discuss the importance of Holocaust education.
Taking place, the week before International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the program will feature Holocaust survivor Mark Schonwetter alongside leaders from Sharaka, an international organization dedicated to building understanding and people-to-people connections between Muslims and Jews. The evening will foster meaningful dialogue around memory, resilience, and the urgent need for compassion and cross-cultural collaboration in today’s world.
The panel will explore:
• The importance of Holocaust education in confronting hatred and misinformation
• The dangers of rising antisemitism, Islamophobia, and historical distortion
• How Muslim-Jewish collaboration is creating pathways toward understanding
• Personal stories of survival, resilience, and bridge-building
Panelists include Mark Schonwetter (Founder, MSHE Foundation), Isabella S. Fiske (Founder, MSHE Foundation), Alyssa Annis (Moderator, Sharaka), Youssef Elzahari (Sharaka), Fatema Al-Harbi (Sharaka), and Loay Al-Shareef (Sharaka).
Sharaka—meaning “partnership” in Arabic—was founded to translate the spirit of the Abraham Accords into real human connection through dialogue, respect, and meaningful engagement across cultures and faiths. MSHEF is honored to partner with Sharaka and Temple B’nai Abraham, a community deeply rooted in multigenerational commitment, to host this special evening.
The event is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
