Yom HaShoah Holocaust Memorial Tour @ Oregon Holocaust Memorial
Apr 8 @ 12:00 pm

In honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day join us for a tour of the Oregon Holocaust Memorial with a tour led by co-chairs of the OJMCHE Speakers’ Bureau, educator Jill Slansky and Holocaust survivor Evelyn Banko.

The Oregon Holocaust Memorial, dedicated August 29, 2004, serves as a permanent reminder of the Holocaust, the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews and millions of others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators from 1933 to 1945. Millions were murdered because of their political or religious beliefs, physical and mental disabilities, sexual orientation, or assistance to the persecuted. By teaching the lessons of the Holocaust and visiting the Memorial, we pay homage to those who lost their lives during that period. Further, there is hope that we can encourage future generations to be accepting of all people. Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education is the steward of the Oregon Holocaust Memorial.
