⚆◟⚆Sip & Listen with Adrienne Petrook | Upper West Side
For one afternoon, a neighborhood cafe becomes a space of memory.
Sip & Listen is a first-of-its-kind pop-up series turning New York City coffee shops into intimate spaces of Holocaust remembrance, timed to coincide with Yom HaShoah, the Jewish day of Holocaust remembrance.
Join us on the Upper West Side for a rare, intimate conversation with Adrienne Petrook, a hidden child survivor born in Budapest in 1941, who survived the war with the help of her aunt and immigrated to the United States in 1950. She will be bringing her self-published memoir to the event.
The conversation will be hosted by Ari Ackerman, serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and prominent Jewish community leader. Founder of Bunk1.com, partner in the Derek Jeter-led group that owns the Miami Marlins, and a celebrated figure in the Jewish community, Ari has been featured on CNN, the Today Show, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal. He will be inducted into the Manhattan Jewish Hall of Fame in May 2026.
New York City is home to approximately 15,000 Holocaust survivors, the largest survivor population in the world. As their voices become fewer, pop-ups like this one matter more than ever.
Spots are limited. Please RSVP to reserve your place.
