I will be part of the Interfaith Clergy Leadership Circle at the “Gathering at Auschwitz” on from May 29th through June 3.
As a daughter of two Hungarian Shoah survivors, may their spirit be elevated, this work means a lot to me. This will be my first time at Auschwitz.
PARTICIPATE IN the READING OF NAMES
One of the rituals we will do, is a Reading of Names. You are invited you to share the names of people you knew/know who suffered during the Shoah (WWII), died then or since then, or are still alive. We would be honored to remember them with respect, humility, and lov, read their names aloud during a special service we will hold at Birkenau.
You may share the names of the people through this form by May 12th –
Also, if you know, please include their birth place & date / death place & date – and their relationship to you. Labels will be made and attached to a yahrzeit candle for the Service.
