HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATION COMMITTEE

The Heschel Holocaust Commemoration Committee, in addition to organizing the school’s annual Kristallnacht and Yom HaShoah programs, maintains an archive to preserve the memories of Heschel families who experienced the Shoah (Holocaust). We would like to include as many families as possible in our archive, which serves as both a memorial to those who perished and a testament to the Jewish continuity perpetuated by survivors, in addition to being a dynamic teaching tool. As a member of the Heschel community, we encourage you to utilize this resource and share photos, personal narratives, written or recorded testimonials and other information about your family’s experiences during the Shoah by contacting HCC@heschel.org.
