SWEET LORRAINE OF AUSCHWITZ SUNDAY, OCTOBER 24 • INDIANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY With the surge in antisemitic incidents over the past few months, on top of the alarmingly steady increase in anti-Jewish rhetoric and violence over the past several years, it is more important than ever that the community-at-large raise its collective voice to stand up and speak out in the face of 21st century antisemitism. Created and performed by Frank Grunwald, an Indianapolis resident,

Holocaust survivor, and accomplished musician, this compelling program will weave together his experiences in several concentration camps with the music that helped him cope with the horrific conditions he faced.
