Yom HaShoah
Community Holocaust Commemoration
Sunday April 16, 2023 | 1:00 p.m.

On Yom HaShoah we remember the 6 million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, honor those who survived, and teach future generations so it never happens again. Our mantra has been Never Forget and Never Again. This year we will explore 70 years of survivors in San Diego and the impact our survivor community has had on San Diego and the Jewish community.
