International Holocaust Remembrance Day with Maud Dahme
About the Event
For International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026, the AHEC was honored to welcome Holocaust Survivor Maud Dahme, a hidden child who moved to the United States after the war and became an accomplished Holocaust educator. Maud was only four years old when the Germans invaded her homeland, the Netherlands. In 1942, to save them from deportation, Maud’s parents hid her and her sister with various courageous Christian families. In this recording of the AHEC’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration, Maud shares the full story of her survival during the Holocaust.
