There’s always something to smile about at our monthly Coffeehouse for Holocaust survivors. 💙

Alongside our partner @SelfhelpNY, today we brought survivors together for an afternoon of Jewish joy, dancing, and connection.

[Office of New York City Comptroller Mark Levine @NYCComptroller]

An estimated 16,000 Holocaust survivors live in New York City today, many face poverty, social isolation, declining health and lasting trauma. Comptroller Levine joined NYS Assemblywoman @Nily Rozic and Shelly Rood Wernick of @JFederations the @SelfhelpNY "A Legacy of Caring” panel to discuss the importance of ensuring survivors have the resources they need and supporting organizations that provide critical services.

[Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng]

I stopped by @SelfhelpNY in Maspeth to hear from local seniors and share an update on my work in Congress to lower costs, improve access to care, and more. Listening to their concerns helps my team and me better serve our community.

If you or a loved one needs help with a federal agency or accessing benefits, call my office at (718) 358-MENG.

[UJA-Federation of New York @UJAfedNY]

This week, leaders in advocacy and public policy from across our community gathered for our partner

[Selfhelp Community Services @SelfhelpNY]

@RepGraceMeng @QCHnyc Thank you for visiting us!

[Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng]

I had a wonderful time dropping by the Benjamin Rosenthal-Prince Street Older Center in Flushing and the Older Adult Center in Rego Park. It is always great visiting with our local seniors to hear their concerns and let them know how my office can assist them.

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

Holocaust Survivor Day is a reminder that the stories of survivors are nothing short of miracles. Today, I had the privilege of speaking to a group of them, thanks to @UJAfedNY and @SelfhelpNY.

At a time of rising antisemitism and Holocaust denial, supporting survivors and keeping their stories alive has never been more important. As the daughter and granddaughter of survivors, that work will always be deeply personal to me.

[UJA-Federation of New York @UJAfedNY]

Today, on #HolocaustSurvivorDay, we honor the extraordinary strength and resilience of Holocaust survivors.

Alongside our partner, @SelfhelpNY, survivors came together for an afternoon of music, conversation, and community.

We were honored to welcome @NYCCouncil Speaker @SpeakerMenin and Councilmember @vmmaloney as we celebrated survivors and reaffirmed our commitment to ensuring they are never forgotten, never alone, and always supported with the care and compassion they deserve.

[Virginia Maloney @vmmaloney]

Yesterday, on Holocaust Survivor Day, I joined @speakermenin, @UJAfedNY, and @SelfhelpNY to honor an extraordinary group of Holocaust survivors.

At a time of rising antisemitism and Holocaust denial, preserving these stories and supporting survivors is more important than ever. We must never forget, and we must never stop speaking out against hate.

[Congresswoman Laura Gillen @RepLauraGillen]

At 100 years old, Leah Goldberg continues to share her story of surviving the Holocaust, reminding us why we must preserve the history of those who endured this evil.

Today, ahead of Yom HaShoah, we are sharing her story and pausing to honor the lives of the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

It was a blessing to spend time with Leah in her home in Valley Stream and hear her harrowing experiences.

At a time of rising antisemitism and fading knowledge of the Holocaust, it is vital that Congress pass the HEAL Act so every student knows stories like Leah’s and to ensure these horrors never happen to anyone again. @SelfhelpNY

[Congresswoman Laura Gillen @RepLauraGillen]

100-year-old Holocaust survivor, Leah Goldberg, shared her harrowing life story and her incredible resilience in the face of profound evil.

It is vital we share and preserve stories like Leah’s to ensure every student knows the horrors that happened in the Holocaust and that these atrocities never happen again. @SelfhelpNY

[Council Member Susan Zhuang @CMSusanZhuang]

It was great visiting @SelfhelpNY to celebrate their 90th anniversary and see firsthand what real care and long-term support for seniors can achieve.

It creates community, respect across generations, and the dignity that everyone deserves.

[Council Member Susan Zhuang @CMSusanZhuang]

A closer look at yesterday’s visit to @SelfhelpNY. Thank you again for the important work you do and for taking the time to share it with us!

[Sandra Ung 黄敏仪 @CMSandraUng]

I was honored to join @SelfhelpNY to celebrate an incredible milestone: 90 years of helping older adults age with dignity and respect. I’ve seen the impact they have firsthand at their senior housing developments in Flushing. Here’s to 90 more years!

[Grace Meng @RepGraceMeng]

Great stopping by @SelfhelpNY’s Austin Street Senior Center to connect with local seniors, answer questions, and hear what’s on their minds!

Need help with Social Security, the VA, IRS, or another federal agency? My team is ready to help—call us at (718) 358-MENG.

[Virginia Maloney @vmmaloney]

It was an honor to join @SelfhelpNY for this meaningful gathering with Holocaust survivors. Hearing firsthand accounts is a powerful reminder of the importance of remembrance, education, and ensuring these stories continue to be shared across generations.

Thank you to Selfhelp for the extraordinary work they do supporting older New Yorkers through housing, home care, and community-based services, and for creating spaces like this that foster connection, dignity, and memory.

[Sandra Ung 黄敏仪 @CMSandraUng]

The Rosenthal OAC is one of the busiest in my district. The staff there do an amazing job, but they couldn’t offer so many great programs and services without the help of their dedicated volunteers. This week, I joined @SelfhelpNY to recognize them for their hard work.
