    Creator of the Six Million Project

            Genealogy

    In my genealogical research, I uncovered records of my father-in-law's time in the Dachau camp. This was significant because he wasn’t aware that he had been there. It was an emotional revelation, especially since he is still alive. Another deeply moving discovery was finding the last recorded place of my grandfather, Jenö Glazer, who arrived at Natzweiler in December 1944—a fact none of our family had known before. These moments have added new dimensions to our family history. 


    I am the family’s go-to person for crafting intricate, beautifully designed family trees that preserve not only our stories but also the expansive connections across generations. On my mother’s side, I have already played a key role in inspiring two international family reunions that united 60 relatives from Australia, the USA, the UK, Israel, and South Africa, together with their children and grandchildren, first in Cape Town and last summer in Israel. Beginning during Covid, the family held weekly Zoom calls, rediscovering distant cousins across continents, family branches, and generations.


    Brief description of the Six Million Project

    The Six Million Project is a community-based art initiative led by Liora Blum, designed to honor the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The project involves creating 100 works of art, each made up of tiny painted rectangles, symbolizing every Jewish life lost. Volunteers are invited to contribute to this large-scale effort, with the aim of raising awareness about the destructive impact of antisemitism. Ultimately, the project envisions displaying all 100 paintings together in a museum space to evoke a powerful visual representation of memory and loss.

    For more information, visit: www.sixmillionproject.org and sign up for the newsletter to receive updates of the project.


    Bio

    Liora Blum is an independent graphic designer and artist with over 30 years of experience, specializing in book design and print-related projects. She is the creator of the Six Million Project, a community-based initiative aimed at raising awareness of the deadly effects of antisemitism by creating 100 paintings made up of six million tiny rectangles, symbolizing the Jewish victims of the Holocaust. As a second-generation Holocaust survivor, Liora is passionate about preserving Jewish history and memory. In addition to her artistic endeavors, she has also conducted extensive genealogical research into her own family history, which she will be discussing at this event. Based in Raanana, Israel, Liora also teaches English as a second language and continues to work with clients in high-tech industries.

    One in Six Million: A Baby by the Roadside and the Man Who Retraced a Holocaust Survivor's Lost Identity

    Speaker Amy Fish

    (with a local family connection)


    Tuesday Morning

    22nd April 

    9AM to 11AM

    In Person Only

    East Side Kosher Deli

    499 SOUTH ELM STREET

    DENVER, CO 802461307

    (303) 322-9862

    Six years ago, Amy walked into a shiva and had a conversation that would change her life. She met a genealogist, Stanley Diamond, who told her about a case he had just closed. A woman named Maria knew she had been found by the side of the road in 1941 Poland, but had no idea what became of her original family. Stanley and his genealogy colleagues successfully identified both branches of Maria's family tree, including many living cousins who embraced a woman that until now they never knew existed. In this talk, Amy will discuss why this story was so riveting to her, and how she spent years working with Stanley and documenting his legacy. Suggestions for telling your stories will be included as well.


    Amy Fish is a born storyteller with a tendency to over-research. Her latest book, "One in Six Million: A Baby by the Roadside and the Man Who Retraced a Holocaust Survivor's Lost Identity" (Goose Lane Editions 2025) has been called "a stunning achievement that interlaces the dark shadows of the Holocaust with the redemptive light of discovery." Amy's work has appeared in Reader's Digest, Costco Connection and Mitzvah Market Magazine. She is the Ombudsperson at Concordia University in Montreal, where she lives with her family. This is her fourth book.
