Did your parents or grandparents survive the Holocaust?

An opportunity for remembrance

By GenShoah SWFL

The Jewish community of Southwest Florida will commemorate Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) in Collier County on Sunday, May 5, 4 p.m. at the Nina Iser Jewish Cultural Center. 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 to genshoahswfl@hmcec.org.

Examples

Rochelle Zelcer Lieb – daughter of Auschwitz survivors Mayer Zelcer and Marta Zwecher Zelcer

Ida Margolis – daughter of Auschwitz survivors Max and Janet Zuchter Moskowitz
