The Florida Holocaust Museum to livestream the reading of Holocaust victims’ names and ages on Facebook all day on Tuesday, April 21st in observance of Yom HaShoah

April 19, 2020 by Post

What: The Florida Holocaust Museum will livestream on Facebook all day on Tuesday, April 21, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in observance of Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day). The livestream will include footage of community members virtually reading Holocaust victims’ names and ages. Additionally, footage of Holocaust Survivors and Second Generation sharing their stories will take place throughout the virtual commemoration. The livestream can be viewed online at www.facebook.com/TheFHM.
Why: Through The Florida Holocaust Museum’s educational programs based on original artifacts, archival documents and artwork, the Museum works daily to translate the staggering statistics of genocide into individual stories. The annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration is another effort to remember the victims as individual people with life histories. Reading the names of the Jewish men, women, and children killed during the Holocaust is a symbolic yet deeply personal way of remembering these individuals. Most victims of the Holocaust don’t have graves – reciting their names allows for them to be memorialized while reminding us of their human dignity. Hearing their names offers us a chance to reflect on their lives and the events of the Holocaust while renewing our commitment to ensuring that such atrocities do not occur again.
Who Should Attend: All members of the community are invited to attend virtually. 
When: Tuesday. April 21, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Where: Online on The Florida Holocaust Museum’s official Facebook page facebook.com/TheFHM.
