Speakers, audience, highlight acts of resistance in Yom HaShoah event at UHC sanctuary
Thanks to Scott Skillman for organizing and to Ken Turetzky for emceeing such a meaningful Yom HaShoah program April 16 in our UHC sanctuary.
The theme of the program was not only remembrance of the Holocaust and other atrocities, but learning about acts of resistance, while encouraging us to continue to resist oppression in our world today.
It was so heartening to see the sanctuary filled with supportive community members coming together, actively taking a stand against antisemitism and racism.
