The Raab/Goodwin Center March of Remembrance is October 8
The Esther Raab Holocaust Museum & Goodwin Education Center will be hosting its 5th Annual March of Remembrance on Sunday, October 8 at the Jewish Federation Annex building, located at 1721 Springdale Road, Cherry Hill (across from BethEl Baptist Church). Along the 2-mile march (abbreviated 1-mile route available) participants will learn many of the lessons history has taught us about the consequences of hatred and bigotry, pay tribute to many of our local Survivors, and become educated about the Esther Raab Holocaust Museum & Goodwin Education Center.
Walkers and Non-Walkers are also invited to a film screening of the documentary Better Together: Names Not Numbers, created by Kellman Brown Academy 8th grade students. Through this film, students were able to interview 4 local Holocaust Survivors and learn how to make a wonderful film.
Additionally, students from Rosa International Middle School will be showing their video project about Holocaust hero Josiah DuBois who saved thousands of Jews from the horrors of the Holocaust. The video was created for the National History Day competition, where they placed 2nd nationally.

For Camp Aaron director, JCC Camps is a family affair
When Larry Helfman started as a Hilltop camper in the early 1970s, the Jewish Community Center’s campsite in Medford was already something like his family’s summer home.
His stepfather, Larry Brown, himself a Hilltop alumnus, had started working there the summer prior. As the first director of the newly established Camp Aaron—founded on the innovative idea of allowing tweens to chose the activities they wanted to do—Brown devoted much of his time in the early years canvassing the grounds making sure campers got to where they were supposed to go.
