Our Stories

when lives are strengthened, stories are born...

As we pursue our mission at Jewish Family Service, stories naturally develop. Some are happy. Some are sad. Some are beautiful. Some are gut wrenching. But our stories are real. And they are honest. And they are deeply inspiring, because they reveal the power of the human spirit to move forward.

During her life, Stephanie Marks helped more than 11,000 students learn about the Holocaust through programming with the Nancy & David Wolf Holocaust & Humanity Center. A survivor herself, Marks needed support as she grew older. She found that help—and more—through the services provided Jewish Family Service.
