Our Co-Founder, Michael Korenblit

Michael Korenblit is co-author of the best-selling book Until We Meet Again, a true story of love and survival. Raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma by parents who both experienced the Holocaust, Mike has a perspective on humanity and civil rights powerfully fueled by what he saw and learned growing up. In his most-requested presentation, Mike takes his audiences on a journey through time to Hrubieszow, Poland, during the late 1930’s and 1940’s. He relates the stories of two families and the impact of World War II on their lives. An award-winning producer, activist and social justice innovator (and Respect Diversity’s president), Mike uses his parents’ story as a touchpoint for human rights education in numerous spheres, as he gives talks and leads workshops with a range of participants – from fifth graders to high-school students to community groups.  In his explorations of human rights and human rights abuses around the world, Mike communicates the responsibility we all share and how participants can make a difference.
