Bearing Witness Bea Schemer

Bea Schemer shares a powerful perspective on survival, responsibility, and the importance of remembrance.

What: Beatrice “Bea” Schemer is a Holocaust survivor from Germany and community speaker who shares her personal story of escape, displacement, and rebuilding after the Holocaust. Drawing from her lived experience as a Jewish child under Nazi threat, she speaks about her family’s journey to safety, their years of uncertainty and migration, and the resilience required to begin again in a new country. This is Bea’s first time speaking at The Breman!
