Kulanu Holocaust Commemoration
- Tuesday, April 30 - 4:30 -6:00 pm
ALL Zayin students are expected to attend and parents are invited.
Our program will feature a Survivor speaker, Zayin student interpretations in drawing and poetry, our Holocaust Scroll, songs and lighting of candles. This year we are featuring the stories of congregant survivor stories of Ruth Partel and Charles Willner and Sylvia Kierszenblat as part of our Holocaust Scroll Project. Our survivor speaker is Betty Knoop from the Holocaust and Human Rights Education Center. Ms. Knoop was a contemporary of Anne Frank, lived in the same neighborhood and was deported to the same concentration camp and is now a resident of Armonk, NY.
Special thanks to Stacey Saiontz, Robin Wald and Aitana Perlmutter for being instrumental to this program!
