Joanne Gilbert

As a Baby Boomer, born and raised in Detroit and Oak Park, and now residing in Las Vegas, Joanne was profoundly influenced by her Grandmother Millie Ron, whose family had been murdered in Vilna. Growing up with the stories of the ways that Survivors had defied the Nazis, inspired Joanne to dedicate herself to proving that the Jewish People did NOT go, "silently like sheep to the slaughter." And that Resistance is not limited by age, size, or gender.
