Yom HaShoah Commemoration

Join Holocaust Museum LA in commemorating Yom HaShoah, as we come together with survivors and the community at an in-person, outdoor ceremony at Pan Pacific Park to honor those who survived and remember those who perished. 

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the uprisings at the Sobibor and Treblinka Death Camps. Those who resisted did so with courage, human dignity, and defiance. The continued importance of standing up together against pervasive and increasing antisemitism remains crucial.

The program will include: 

• Jeffrey Abrams, Regional Director, ADL Los Angeles
• Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass
• Harry Davids, Holocaust survivor
• Rabbi Karen Fox, Emerita Rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple
• Helen Isaacson, 2G
• Consul General of Israel Dr. Hillel Newman
• Carolyn Siegel, 3G; Founder & Executive, Director, If You Heard What I Heard
• Aaron Aftergood, 3G; grandson of Warsaw Ghetto survivor
• LA Councilmember Katy Yaroslavsky
• California Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur, member of the California Legislative Jewish Caucus
• A musical composition by Holocaust survivor Herbert Zipper, performed by musicians from The Colburn School
• Reciting the Mourner's Kaddish and El Malei Rachamim, Ron Galperin
• The Partisan Song led by Holocaust survivors David Lenga and Henry Slucki
• Program music performed by Janice Mautner Markham and Czeska Markham
