“Liberation and Survival: Where do I go now?” will be the focus of Yom HaShoah commemoration on Sunday, April 19. The Holocaust Remembrance Day event will feature eyewitness accounts of the Shoah from survivors and witnesses. The program will also include a traditional candle-lighting service, Holocaust Torah procession, liturgical readings and prayers. The community-wide commemoration will take place at Kol Rinah, 829 N. Hanley Road, beginning at 4 p.m. 

Music will be performed by Andrew Ruben as well as Mischa and Tova Braitberg of Elegant Ensembles (son and granddaughter of survivors Szyfra and the late Gregor Braitberg). Additional music will be performed by Kolot, a community-wide Jewish women’s choir. The program will be interpreted in sign language. The synagogue lot will be reserved for handicapped parking; ample street parking available.
