CHULA VISTA, California — It brings me great pleasure to announce that the Chula Vista Public Library is now open and that the RUTH (Remember Us The Holocaust) exhibit has been extended through December 2021. As many of you know we took the time during the pandemic and created a youtube show called Our Lives Our Future with my filming partner Harry Orgovan. We have had numerous requests to continue the youtube shows as we feature Holocaust related stories and Harry captures the hearts of the community leaders in our wonderful city. Please email me with your idea so we can get you on our show. So far we have had over 30,000 views and from people around the world. We know you have a story to tell or might know someone and we would love to feature it.
I believe that the schools suffered the most during the pandemic and that having the library open is a great way to get back on track. For those of you that were effected by COVID, we continue to pray for your speedy recovery. It is my hope that you can share this notice.. As you know I am happy to give you a tour of the library or zoom with you. I have added some new things in the library exhibit and will continue to do so. We have lots to look forward to including the new COMIC CON museum in San Diego and its educational series located on their website.
In the meantime, I continue to have so much gratitude for the support given my #ChulaVista and me. We are planning on another “fundraiser” as soon as we get the green light. We hope to have it on our new deck in the library and as you know, tickets will go fast as you witnessed last January 2020. Don’t forget to smile even when having a mask on. This is something we must never forget to do. Please watch our youtube channel and share the videos. We created Holocaust Education for Chula Vista Schools. Again, my sincere thank you.
