Talli will share her grandmother’s story of resilience during the Holocaust, the importance of education in combating antisemitism, and honoring the legacy of Holocaust survivors to create a better future.
Why April: April 18, 2023 is Holocaust Remembrance Day also called Yom Hashoah. It marks the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, when Jewish resistance fighters defied the Nazis and fought for freedom and dignity. The Holocaust was the largest manifestation of antisemitism in recent history. Yom HaShoah reminds us of the horrors that Jews and other persecuted groups faced: forced labor, starvation, humiliation, and torture, which often resulted in death. It was a systematic effort to wipe out an entire population from the face of the earth.
