Yom Hashoah Theme: 'Remember the Children'

The annual Yom Hashoah ceremony will be held Sunday, May 4, at 1 p.m. at the Monument to the Six Million Jewish Martyrs, at 16th Street and the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The theme: "As the Branches of This Tree, So the Branches of Our People: Remember the Children." Keynote speaker Mark Talisman of the Project Judaica Foundation will bring a sapling taken from a tree once found at Theresienstadt. The drawing at left was taken from a book of remembrances kept by a female prisoner in Terezin, where the Nazis imprisoned artists, musicians and intellectuals. (If its rains, the event will take place at Congregation Rodeph Shalom, 615 N. Broad St.
