Thank you to all who came to commemorate Yom HaShoah at the Holocaust Memorial Plaza this past Sunday. It was a meaningful event to share with our community. Let us continue to stand together in remembrance, generation after generation,working towards a safer and more just world.

It's warm here in Philadelphia, but there's shade and much to learn at the Holocaust Memorial Plaza. Come visit us and learn something new this summer!
