What happens when survivors can no longer tell their stories themselves?

Lesaper was created to help answer that question.

Over the past several months, members of Cohort 3 have worked one-on-one with Holocaust survivors, listening to their memories, asking questions, and learning the responsibility of carrying testimony forward with care and accuracy.

In these final performances, the storytellers will share the stories they have been entrusted to tell — with the survivors themselves present to witness, respond, and receive the storyteller's commitment: “I promise to keep your memory and tell your story.”
