Editor’s note: This event has already taken place.

ALBANY–B’nai Sholom Reform Congregation, located at 420 Whitehall Rd., in Albany will host a presentation by Mimica Tzezana Hyman on Tuesday, Sept. 29, chronicling the survival of the Jewish community on the Greek island of Zakynthos during World War II. Tzezana Hyman’s father and his family lived on the island. The presentation, “Song of Life,” will begin at 2 p.m. at the synagogue.

Tzezana Hyman has spoken about the life-affirming events that took place during the war on Zakynthos. The entire Jewish community on the island was protected from the Nazis by the bishop, the mayor, and other residents. As a result, all 275 Jewish lives on Zakynthos were saved.

A screening of a short documentary is planned.

A resident of the Hudson Valley, Tzezana Hyman is an artist, educator and advocate who has been sharing her family’s experience during the Holocaust since 2007. She serves on the board of the American Friends of the Jewish Museum of Greece.
