Yom HaShoah

Our community will mark Yom HaShoah with TWO events, one each on Thursday and Friday next week.

Marta Havryshko, a professor from the Strassler School at Clark University, joins us Thursday at 4:00 PM at the Charlton College of Business Auditorium, Room 149, at UMass Dartmouth to speak about sexual violence against Jewish women during the Holocaust. With recent violence against Israeli women on October 7th (and during the war in Ukraine), commentary on these atrocities is as relevant today as it was 80 years ago. We are fortunate to be hosting an expert and I hope you will join me next week. See the event flyer below.

On Friday at 1:30 PM we gather at the Holocaust Memorial in Buttonwood Park for the annual ceremony, which is now both a commemoration of the Holocaust and a reminder of the hostages still held in Gaza. I hope to see you at both events next week
