Yom HaShoah 60th Community-Wide Holocaust Commemoration

Join us rain or shine at the Memorial to the Six Million at Greenwood Cemetery as we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the heroism of survivors and rescuers. This year is the 60th anniversary of Atlanta’s Memorial to the Six Million. Since its construction was completed in 1965, it has been a holy place where human ashes from Dachau and bars of soap from Jewish bodies are interred for eternity. It is a place for all to say Kaddish (mourner's prayer) and lay a stone on the tomb or for survivors and their descendants to place a flower on their loved ones’ Yahrzeit (memorial) plaques inside the Memorial. As we do each year, we will honor our Holocaust survivors in attendance. This event is free and open to the public and is jointly sponsored by Eternal Life-Hemshech, the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.
