Yom HaShoah: Holocaust Remembrance Day

The Yom HaShoah ceremony offers a time to reflect, remember and keep alive the memories of the victims of the Holocaust. During the Yom HaShoah ceremony, survivor families will light six candles to signify the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. One of the candles is shorter than the others to represent the 1.5 million children who died. A performance of Holocaust-themed music by Batsheva Capek, a Canadian singer/songwriter, will also be part of the program.
