We invite you to attend A Tour of Yad Vashem: Spiritual Resistance Within the Walls of the Museum on Sunday, February 20 at 2:00pm. The creation of schools, keeping diaries, and maintaining traditions, are just some of the ways that Jewish people "fought" during the Holocaust. Join us as we journey into Yad Vashem and explore how Jews engaged in acts of spiritual resistance to maintain their dignity and humanity in a world of chaos and dehumanization. Sign up for your free Calgary Public Library (CPL) membership to register for this program. Registration for this event is through CPL online or call 403-260-2600.
