The Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC) is pleased to present this unique and compelling benefit concert featuring Holocaust survivor testimonies and a Jazz Trio.

The playing, singing, and composing of music was an important tool of hope and survival in the ghettos and concentration camps during World War II. Frank Grunwald, survivor of five concentration campus, including Auschwitz, is an Indianapolis resident and piano accordion player. Frank’s vision for this program was inspired by the fact that he and his brother sang 1920s and 1930s American jazz standards in Auschwitz in order to take their minds away from the horrific conditions they were facing.

Proceeds from the event will go directly to support the JCRC’s Stand Up! Speak Out! initiative, which implements programs that reduce hate, combat antisemitism, and promote respect in schools and on college campuses. For more information, visit: https://indyjcrc.org/stand-up-speak-out/.
