About the event
An Evening with Sami Steigmann: Holocaust Survivor and Motivational Speaker (Virtual)
Sami Steigmann was born in 1939 in what is now western Ukraine. As a child, he and his parents were imprisoned in the Mogilev-Podolsky labor camp in Transnistria, where he became a subject of Nazi medical experimentation. A German farm woman who secretly smuggled him milk kept him alive. He went on to serve in the Israeli Air Force, build a life in the United States, and — since 2008 — speak to more than 250,000 people about what he survived and what he chose to make of it.
Join Rhode Island Coalition for Israel, Atlanta Israel Coalition and Israel Brief for a virtual evening with Sami, live on Zoom.
"I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to be."
— Sami Steigmann, Globally renowned motivational speaker + Holocaust survivor
His message is not only history. He speaks about resilience, about the responsibility of memory, and about what it asks of us to confront antisemitism today. His framework — Educate, Motivate, Empower, Tolerance (E.M.E.T., the Hebrew word for truth) — is the work of a lifetime, and he brings it with the moral clarity of someone who has earned every word.
