Cambridge Citywide Commemoration of the Holocaust

An interfaith evening of remembrance, reading and candle lighting on May 4th at Temple Beth Shalom, 8 Tremont Street, off Broadway near Prospect, 7-9 PM.

Recalling all who perished during the Holocaust, this year’s program features an evening of music, candle lighting, and remembrance. The guest speaker is Ingrid Kisliuk. Kisliuk was eight years old in 1938 when her
family was forced to flee Vienna, Austria for exile in Belgium, and then went into hiding in Brussels during the German occupation. She is the author of Unveiled Shadows: The Witness of a Child and From Trauma to
Trepidation: Memories transmitted by Hidden Children to the Second Generation .

Music will be provided by A Besere Velt (A Better World): the Yiddish Community Chorus of the Workmen’s Circle, the Cambridge Community Chorus, and by the Cambridge Rindge and Latin School String Ensemble and Chorus.

The program is free, open to all, and wheelchair accessible. It welcomes all communities of Cambridge – including children and adults and people of all faiths and traditions.
