Sara J. Bloomfield, Director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and Dr. Maria Lombardo, as the Education Director of NIAF were the keynote speakers of rescue for this conference addressing an audience of 750 people. Sy Rotter presented the film "A Debt to Honor" narrated by Alan Alda. Testimonials from the audience provided credence to the fact that the Italians helped Jews in Greece as well as Italy. A reception exhibiting the very best from the Italian and Jewish cuisine closed the evening after university classes viewed the photo exhibit of Rome's Jewish Ghetto prepared by Italy/Italy Magazine.
