Holocaust to be remembered at Sunday event

BEVERLY HILLS -- The Annual Yom Hashoa, Holocaust Remembrance Day, will be observed at 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the S.J. Kellner Auditorium, 2 Civic Circle, Beverly Hills.

A special processional of Holocaust survivors, members of Congregation Beth Sholom, will be made holding special candles plus an additional special candle commemorating the Righteous Gentiles who helped save the lives of countless adults and children from the Nazi protagonists.

The program, chaired by Betty Passman, will feature David Bergman, a Holocaust survivor and inventor. The Hebrew Memorial Prayer will be chanted by Helmo Trezesniewsky, a Holocaust survivor, in memory of all whose lives were sacrificed in satisfaction of God's name, the English translation of the prayer will be read by Esther Koenig. The service will consist of dramatic readings by officers of the congregation and its affiliates. Rabbi Zvi Ettinger will recite the Kaddish, the mourners' prayer, and as each word or phrase of the Kaddish is spoken, the audience will announce in unison the name of one of the concentration death camps.

This service is supported by the attendance and participation of many members of the Christian clergy, including guest speaker, Pastor Jeff Ruff of the First Presbyterian Church of Crystal River. Also in attendance will be Jeffrey J. Dawsy, sheriff of Citrus County. An open invitation is extended to the entire community to attend this event.
