WE ARE THE TREE OF LIFE is Jacqueline Gmach. Jacqueline has dedicated her life to the furtherance of Jewish culture. Born in Tunisia, Jacqueline is one of the Project Directors for USC Shoah Foundation, and she previously curated several Jewish events in San Diego, including the renowned San Diego Jewish Book Fair. Jacqueline has authored From Bomboloni to Bagel: A Story of Two Worlds and the upcoming novel, The Antiphonary of Love: The Call of The Scroll.
The concept of WE ARE THE TREE OF LIFE emerged from her response to the massacre at the Pittsburgh Tree of Life Synagogue on October 27, 2018. She was horrified as she read about Rose Malinger, the oldest, 97-yr. old victim of this tragedy. She then realized; WE are ALL Rose Malinger! Jacqueline saw a strong connection between the synagogue massacre and the Holocaust, realizing that those tragedies contain both the stain of virulent antisemitism along with tremendous moral courage and perseverance of the victims. In the concentration camps and ghettos, many victims survived by producing remarkable works of art, music, literature, and dance, whose stories needed her help to share with the world. Jacquelines vision for the organization, WE ARE THE TREE OF LIFE, is to support this mission and demonstrate the important lessons of moral courage and perseverance, and to emphasize the role in which cultural expression nurtures respect, acceptance, and peace.
WE ARE THE TREE OF LIFE is dedicated to education on the Holocaust through music and the performing arts. The goal is to both instruct students, and inspire teachers harnessing the educational properties of in-house-created films, with the message of peace, unity and love that includes life stories and lessons from people who never gave up hope, under the most trying of circumstances. The organization is committed to showcasing the astonishing creativity of Shoah composers, artists and writers, despite the brutality and inhumane conditions under which they produced their work.
