Institute Honors The Lewin Family
A Collective Holocaust Experience Remembered
As a child of Holocaust survivors, Felice was always curious about her family's history. Many would not talk about their experience, but her father, Max, was open to sharing, and his story and philosophy is the foundation of The Lewin Institute for Professional Development.
An intellect at heart, Max gave little lectures to his daughter as if he were at the podium of a university political science class. He believed that the rise of Naziism was due to ignorance and the key to healing the world was education.
In 2013, Felice and her cousin, Sheldon Lewin, created The Lewin Institute for Professional Development to honor Max and other Lewin family members who survived the Holocaust and those who perished.
It provides seminars to mental health professionals so clients can heal and we can ultimately stop the perpetuation of cruelty amongst each other.
