WeHo commemorates Yom HaShoah

The city of West Hollywood will host a virtual Yom HaShoah Holocaust Remembrance Day event titled “Life During the Holocaust” on Thursday, April 8, from noon to 1:30 p.m.

Yom HaShoah provides an opportunity to remember victims of the Holocaust and to focus on preventing genocides and other human atrocities from ever happening again. This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the city’s Yom HaShoah commemoration will be presented via Zoom.

The commemoration will feature a presentation and discussion by Harriet Bennish, with songs that were written in the ghettos of Eastern Europe during World War II from 1939-45. During a time when millions of Jews were facing imprisonment and death, music found a way into their lives through poetry and compositions.

To RSVP, e-mail trodzinek@weho.org, and a link to the Zoom meeting will be sent. For information, visit weho.org
