The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Salem State University (CHGS) invites the public to attend its annual Yom HaShoah remembrance ceremony. Yom HaShoah is held in honor and remembrance of victims and survivors of the Holocaust. This year’s program will feature a memorial service, traditional songs performed by the Salem State Community Chorus, and a talk by Holocaust survivor Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff.

Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff fled Kosice, Slovakia, as a small child in 1941 via Lisbon, Portugal, with her parents and infant brother, the late federal Honorable Judge Ted Klein. She is the founding director of the Teacher Institute on Holocaust Studies for the University of Miami’s School of Education.

This event is supported by Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston, the Congregation Ahabat Sholom Religious Fund, and the North Shore Rabbis and Cantors Association.

The ceremony will take place both in-person and via livestream. Click “RSVP” to attend in-person, and register here to watch on Zoom.
