Program Outline

Here's a brief overview of my basic program.

I start by looking at our circle of care and how far it extends.
I will challenge the audience to make good and rightful decisions in their daily life.
The next 15-20 minutes will be providing historical background information of the rise of the Nazi party and how Hitler came to power.
The next 15 minutes or so are survivor stories, which includes people I have actually met and come to know.
The next 20 minutes is a video provided by the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous. It is the actual story of a rescuer and a survivor he was responsible for saving. It very powerful and inspirational!
Lastly I have a short music video to drive home the message of becoming the people we are suppose to be.
If time permits I would take questions.

My main purpose is for us all to realize that decisions we make have consequences and not making decisions has consequences as well.

The goal of the program is to help all become better people.
