Yom HaShoah is also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day.
This commemoration, presented by The Atlanta Rabbinical Association and the MJCCA, will include the lighting of the torches and a special musical presentation featuring Cantor Daniel Gale from Temple Beth-El, Birmingham, Alabama. The ceremony will also feature remarks from Caroline Stoessinger, author of A Century of Wisdom: Lessons from the life of Alice Herz-Sommer, The World’s Oldest Living Holocaust Survivor. (Prior to the Yom HaShoah Commemoration, at 2:00 pm, all are invited to a special presentation by Carolyn Stoessinger in the Morris & Rae Frank Theatre.)
The program is free and open to the community and will take place rain or shine.
