Brass is a Second Generation Holocaust Educator and Internationally Renowned Public Speaker. She is the daughter of David Zauder, retired trumpet, cornet member, and Personnel Manager of the Cleveland Orchestra, and survivor of the Krakow Ghetto and 4 concentration camps, including Auschwitz. Brass has spoken at more than 300 public and private schools, synagogues, churches, educational venues, and to our esteemed military. She combines her Father’s story and lessons from the Holocaust and weaves them together to form a powerful anti-bullying campaign and message. Her acclaimed Standupster® Presentations teach her audiences that they should never stand silent in the face of hatred. She calls on everyone to use their sense of personal responsibility, and moral leadership, to take action to stop bullying.
Brass was the honorary speaker to Peterson Air Force Base, NORAD, and Cheyenne Mountain personnel and officials in 2006. In 2012 she was the keynote speaker for Holocaust Remembrance Day to Fort Carson’s top officials, at the invitation of Major General Joseph Anderson, commanding general, of the 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson. She has attended 8 World Federation of Child Holocaust and Their Descendants Conferences and was an invited educational panel speaker at the 23rd Annual Conference held in Warsaw, Poland, in 2011.
Her book entitled “I Am a Standupster” “A Second Generation Holocaust Survivor’s Account by the Daughter of David Zauder” provides a rare glimpse into the intergenerational affects of the Holocaust on the surviving parent as well as their children and grandchildren. Since they are living as an extended family, there are a multitude of examples of these affects. Brass writes with an honesty that will expand the thinking of those who wonder how deeply the scars can run from the affects of the Holocaust. Her book is slated for release in 2012.view less
