Join us for an evening of commemoration as we mark the 83rd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a testament to resistance and courage in the face of oppression.

The program will feature a keynote address by Holocaust survivor Malka Pischanitskaya (who will be introduced by her granddaughter Sofie) and her daughter and second-generation descendant Inna Turner. Rabbi Dan Moskovitz of Temple Sholom will also provide remarks. Cantor Shani Cohen will direct the musical program, with contributions from Eric Wilson on cello, Erin Marks on oboe and Wendy Bross Stuart on piano. Songs and prayers of remembrance will be performed by singers who are descendants of Holocaust survivors.

This event honours survivors and provides a space to remember and mourn, while inviting us all to renew our commitment to never forget.

Holocaust survivors will be invited to participate in a candle-lighting ceremony.

This is a free event open to the public; no RSVP is required.

A link to the livestream will be provided closer to the event.

This event is co-presented by the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre, Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver and Temple Sholom Synagogue.
