Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation

I belong to the last generation who will hear stories from people I love who lived through World War II. What do these stories mean to me, to those who shared them, and to those I will share them with?

Anna Isaacs is a longtime member of Capital. She loves to hear people tell their stories.

Rita will tell us what happens inside of a Zen Buddhist monastery when she shows up for training.
