Holocaust Remembrance Day Service. What Does “Never Again” Mean to Us Now?
Generations After, TBE’s group of Holocaust survivors and their descendants, invites you to their annual observance of Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Memory may be the most powerful tool we have to rebuild our world, and for 20 years, TBE Generations After has taken up the responsibility to honor and remember the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. What does “Never Again” mean to us in the aftermath of October 7th? What lessons can we learn, here and now, about how to remember responsibly?
The service will be followed by refreshments and an opportunity to mingle and discuss.
