Holocaust Memorial Observance

Sunday April 28, 2019

3:00 pm.

Capital Community Church 71 Downing Street, Fredericton

The Annual Holocaust Memorial Observance will take place on Sunday April 28, 2019 at 3:00 pm.  The service and reception will be co-sponsored by Sgoolai Israel Synagogue and the Capital Community Church.  The keynote speaker is Andy Reti.

I was born on July 16, 1942 in Budapest, Hungary. My mother, grandmother and I were taken out of our home in October 1944 and forced into a ghetto.  My father and grandfather were taken to a forced labour camp from which my grandfather was able to escape but my father did not. My survival is due to the incredible courage, resilience and sacrifice of my mother and grandmother. On January 18, 1945, we were liberated by the Soviet Red Army.

 After liberation, Hungary went from Nazism to Communism and my mother realized that we had no future there. In 1956, during the October Revolution against Communism, we were able to escape and start a new life in Canada. I went to school, learned a trade and became a Canadian citizen. 

We look forward to your presence on this solemn occasion.

Sincerely,

On behalf of Committee Co-chairs:

 Dr. Israel Unger, Pastor Raymoind Woodward and Pastor Jack Leaman

Film Presentation: Who Will Write Our History, Director: Roberta Grossman, 2018, 94 minutes, USA, English, Polish, Yiddish, with English subtitles. 

In commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day the Atlantic Jewish Council and the Sgoolai Israel Synagogue  join the global screening event of the award winning film Who Will Write Our History , the filmmaker will be screening the film at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, France.

Who Will Write Our History explores the history of the Oyneg Shabes, a group of scholars, journalists and community leaders who worked in the Warsaw Ghetto to defeat Nazi propaganda “not with fists, but with pen and paper.” Through their brave actions, the group collected and preserved thousands of documents, burying them in three caches of metal boxes and milk cans. Two caches have been found, one in 1946 and another in 1950. Collectively they contained more than 35,000 pages ranging from works of art, photographs, execution announcements and hand-drawn maps of concentration camps. Today the collection, known as the Ringelblum Archive (named for the group’s leader) is housed at the Jewish Historical Institute in Warsaw, Poland.

Registration required, free.
