HT-N: Holocaust remembrance begins April 27

The personal testimonies of area residents affected by the Holocaust will be at the heart of a Hendersonville Holocaust memorial program that will also include docent-led exhibits and film screenings, according to a report Saturday in the Hendersonville Times-News.

Organized by Agudas Israel Congregation in partnership with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship, the special “Yom HaShoah” program focuses on firsthand accounts for a well-rounded look at one of the most devastating events in human history.

To observe Yom HaShoah, the official Holocaust Remembrance Day that begins this year on April 27 and 28, Agudas Israel Synagogue has traditionally held an annual memorial service.
