The Time Capsule Ceremony will take place on: Sunday May 25th 2 pm – 4 pm Jewish Holocaust Centre 13-15 Selwyn Street Elsternwick. Refreshments will be served We encourage you to bring all the family, especially the young ones, who will be invited to the Opening ceremony in 50 years… May 2064.
The ceremony promises to be memorable with our special guest speaker Belinda, who was inspired by Eva Slonim to create the children’s story book on show at the Museum. Belinda was 11 when she completed this exceptional work. Now aged 32 and a mother of two Belinda will share her thoughts with us, 20 years on. Your name will be printed on a name-tag to be collected on the day. Photos will be taken of you and your family. With your permission, these will be included in the time capsule.
