Commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Join us for a multi-faceted and interactive International Holocaust Remembrance Day event that includes a gallery tour, film screening, and small group conversations led by facilitators from Facing History and Ourselves. Members of Boston’s Armenian and Cambodian communities will participate in the event. Register at: vilnashul.org/events/event/ihrd
We’ll view Who Will Write Our History?, a 40-minute documentary about the creation of the Oyneg Shabbes Archive, a collection of journals, drawings, stories, and letters created and hidden by prisoners in the Warsaw Ghetto. After the film screening, facilitators from Facing History and Ourselves will lead us on a journey to share our own stories and family histories. This experience will build community and create connections among participants of varied backgrounds. You'll have ample time to shmooze over soft drinks and snacks.
We’ll also open the day with photographer Leslie Starobin for a gallery talk about her exhibit, Looming in the Shadows of Lodz, on display at The Vilna from Friday, January 26 through Friday, February 16 and supported by a CJP Community Creative Grant.
