On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, along with the millions of other innocent victims targeted by N**i persecution. We honor the lives and communities that were lost, and reaffirm our shared responsibility to remember, to educate, and to stand against hatred in all its forms. Never forget.

As a part of Genocide Awareness Week, join us next Thursday, April 23rd, for The Memoirs of Resi Weglein: A Holocaust Story, a special event sharing the powerful account of a survivor who endured life in the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Through a panel discussion, this program highlights the importance of preserving survivor voices, deepening Holocaust education, and raising awareness about the causes and consequences of genocide.
