I Will Give Them an Everlasting Name with Author Sam Cox

Samuel Cox is a retired US Army Reserve officer, an educator for four decades, and a lifelong student of the Holocaust. From 1994-1999 he taught a Holocaust class at St. Johns Country Day School in Orange Park, Florida, where he came to know the ten friends he writes about in this book. A unique approach to Holocaust literature, Sam’s book shares the compelling stories of eight Jews, a Righteous Gentile, and a liberator, all connected by the Holocaust and Jacksonville, Florida. *Lunch will be provided.

Jack & Sam, a poignant short film (20 min.) about two Holocaust survivors who were miraculously reunited after 80 years, will also be shown at this event.  These remarkable men are now spending the precious time they have left rekindling their friendship and teaching others about the dangers of hatred.
