| Yom HaShoah exists as an annual memorial to over six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis during World War II. We pay respect to this Holocaust Day of Remembrance with a ceremony that promotes acceptance and inclusion, diversity and justice, no matter one’s race, religion, color or creed.
They were taken away from their homes, kept behind metal bars and wire fences like criminals—animals. Millions were murdered. Millions more were displaced, left without a home, without family, without much hope. But they survived.
On Yom HaShoah, and every other day of the year, we remember those who lost their lives in the Holocaust, condemned simply because of their religion. We continue to learn from those who survived and honor those who risked their lives, livelihoods, and families to aid the Jewish people. They show us the resilience of the human spirit and that there is always hope for humanity.
With these themes of survival, gratitude, courage and hope, Cypress College Foundation will be holding the 11th Annual Yom HaShoah evening on April 29th.
Please register now to join us on April 29th from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. in the Cypress College Theater. |
