Liat Atzili In Conversation
Friday, October 18 at 5:00 PM
CBE Social Hall, 274 Garfield Place, Brooklyn
Free with RSVP
On October 7, Liat Atzili was kidnapped from her home in Kibbutz Nir Oz by Hamas terrorists and taken to Khan Yunis. Liat was released in the prisoner deal in November 2023 after 54 days in captivity. A day later, she was informed that her partner, Aviv, was killed in the battle for the defense of Kibbutz Nir Oz on October 7. Liat has since returned to her educational work at Nofey Habsor High School, where as a history and civics teacher for the past twenty years she directs a unique student research program and the school’s Holocaust education program. For the past two years, she has also been working as a guide at Yad Vashem, and as an active participant in the efforts to rebuild her community.
During this program, Liat will speak about the process of kibbutz renewal and revival, alongside the challenging task of educating children and youth about humanity during wartime. Additionally, Liat will share about efforts to connect different communities and populations in Israeli society in the south around the struggle of the hostages, as a foundation for a future of life and hope in Israel.
