SPEAKING
Marilyn Sinclair, Chair, Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre, Toronto
"Allan Chernoff’s presentation, The Tailors of Tomaszow, was one of the highlights of Holocaust Education Week 2015. With a sold out presentation to 600, we couldn’t have been more pleased with the attendance. The presentation was enlightening, educational and extremely enjoyable. The comments I received included, “amazing,” “wonderful,” “so glad I came,” and more. Allan is a captivating presenter who captured the attention of all age groups."
Ellen Meyers, Newton Free Library, Newton, Massachusetts
"Allan Chernoff spoke to a standing room only crowd at the Newton Free Library...this was a stellar event in that Mr. Chernoff wove his family’s very personal story into the fabric and history of the experiences of Jews in Poland on the eve of the Holocaust. Our patrons were thoroughly engaged throughout and participated in a lively Q and A at the end of the talk. I highly recommend Mr. Chernoff for speaking engagements."
Claire Solomon Nisen and Lena King, DOROT, New York, New York
"Allan Chernoff's storytelling ability and style, the way that he combined his mother's personal story and a wider perspective on Polish society before, during and after the Holocaust made his online presentation deep, powerful, and historically significant on many levels."
Alana Berman-Gnivecki, Kolbo, Brookline, Massachusetts
"Mr. Chernoff captivated the audience with his presentation on Polish Jewry around the second World War. The event attracted a diverse crowd, and his powerful photographs and moving stories led to many engaging conversations well after the talk was over. It was truly an unforgettable evening for all of us there."
Janet Schneider, Peninsula Public Library, Lawrence, New York
