Remembering the Holocaust: A Day of Reflection
Community Christian Academy & Preschool invites you to join us for Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day. This solemn occasion serves as a poignant reminder of the atrocities committed during World War II, paying tribute to the millions of innocent lives lost and the survivors who bravely endured unimaginable suffering.
Honoring the Victims
On this day, we gather as a community to remember and honor the victims of the Holocaust. The memories of those who perished will forever be etched in our hearts as we strive to preserve their legacy and ensure that the lessons learned from this dark chapter in history are never forgotten.
Communal Reflection and Education
Yom Hashoah provides a platform for communal reflection and education, as we come together to learn from survivors, listen to their stories, and gain a deeper understanding of the Holocaust. Through various activities, we aim to foster empathy, compassion, and tolerance, while promoting a sense of responsibility to stand against hate and discrimination.
Program Highlights
Keynote Speaker: Holocaust Survivor
At this year's commemoration, we are honored to welcome a Holocaust survivor who will share their personal experiences and insights. Their compelling story will serve as a testament to the strength and resilience of the human spirit, inspiring us all to strive for a more inclusive and understanding world.
Interactive Workshops
Our event features a series of interactive workshops designed to engage individuals of all ages. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in thought-provoking discussions, examine historical artifacts, and explore various aspects of Jewish culture and heritage. These workshops aim to deepen our collective knowledge about the Holocaust and encourage meaningful dialogue.
Candle Lighting Ceremony
A symbolic candle lighting ceremony will form an integral part of our remembrance program. Candles will be lit in memory of the victims, with each flame representing a life extinguished during the Holocaust. This powerful act serves as a visual representation of our commitment to "never forget" and serves as a beacon of hope for a brighter future.
