Did your parents or grandparents survive the Holocaust?

Yom HaShoah — An opportunity for remembrance

By Shelley Lieb, Co-facilitator of GenShoah SWFL

The Jewish community of Southwest Florida will commemorate Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) in Greater Naples on Sunday, April 27, 4 p.m. at Temple Shalom. It is a time for meditation, reflection and somber memorial.

We want to include the names to remember — the parents and grandparents of our local second (2G) and third (3G) generations of the Holocaust.

Please submit your name along with the names for remembrance by March 30 to genshoahswfl@hmcec.org.

• Rochelle Zelcer Lieb – Daughter of Auschwitz survivors Mayer Zelcer and Marta Zwecher Zelcer

• Ida Margolis – Daughter of Auschwitz survivors Max and Janet Zuchter Moskowitz

Membership in GenShoah SWFL is open to the entire community. It is an affinity group of the Holocaust Museum and Cohen Education Center and is for Holocaust survivor families and others who are interested in: promotion of Holocaust education and human rights, preservation of the history and memories of the Holocaust, connection with other second- and third-generation families, and supporting the Holocaust Museum and Cohen Education Center.

There are no fees or mandatory attendance. Programs of interest and a monthly newsletter are available to all members. For more information, please contact us at genshoahswfl@hmcec.org.
