Days of Remembrance

Today is May 1st and it is the start of  Days of Remembrance of the Holocaust.  It officially goes from May 1st to May 8th.  This years theme at the Museum in D.C. is Justice and Accountability in the Face of Genocide: What Have We Learned?

This week I'll be attending a few things.  Monday night I'll be going to Peabody High School to attend YOM HASHOAH, an Interfaith Commemoration of the Holocaust.  My professor that I went to Poland with has told us about this many time and I'm really looking forward to going.  If you'd like to know more click here.

Then, on Thursday I'll be going to Marblehead to hear a Dutch woman speak about her experiences hiding their Jewish nanny during the war.  It's called War Through a Child's Eye.  If you'd like to know more about that, click here.

It will be a busy week but I feel like I have to go in order to start to better process and understand what I saw and learned in Poland.

Ask me about it this week!
