From Évian to The Dominican Republic: From Historical Discovery to Global Educational Action
2026-09-03 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Detroit) | Adat Shalom Synagogue 29901 Middlebelt Rd, Farmington Hills
Hugh’s research about the 1938 Évian Conference has evolved into an
international educational initiative in the Dominican Republic, the only
nation to offer a haven to Jewish refugees following the conference. His
engaging presentation combines historical facts, photographs, personal
experiences, and stories from nearly a decade of work preserving this
remarkable chapter of Jewish history through the creation of Sosua75 in the
Dominican Republic.
The program, presented in memory of Baver’s parents, longtime Adat Shalom
members Howard and Ruth Baver, will explore remembrance, moral courage and how
individual curiosity can lead to meaningful educational change.
