Community Holocaust Commemoration
4126 Executive Drive, San Diego, 92037
Cost: Free
The Jewish Federation of San Diego County will host the annual Holocaust Memorial Commemoration event. The commemoration serves as a day of reflection, reconciliation, and honor for our community’s Survivors. The theme for this year’s remembrance is Remembrance, Hope, and Freedom. As part of that theme, Federation will host The Butterfly Project, an international education program that started in San Diego, that pays special homage to the children of the Holocaust. All in attendance will be encouraged to paint a ceramic butterfly in remembrance of a child lost during the Holocaust, read their name and story aloud, to commemorate a life taken too soon. Each butterfly represents a life lost.
