GALLOWAY TOWNSHIP - The Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton University will commemorate the annual Holocaust Remembrance ceremony, Yom HaShoah: Unto Every Person There Is A Name, with a weeklong series of programs on the Stockton Public Access TV channel (Comcast local channel 9) April 20-27.

Yom HaShoah commemorates the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, and the Jewish resistance against the Nazis.

The programming will include oral history testimonies from local Holocaust survivors and documentary films. In addition, Yom HaShoah services with keynote addresses by local Holocaust survivors from 2019, 2018, and 2015 will also be available on YouTube.

I will miss gathering with the local community in person this year, Holocaust Center Executive Director Gail Rosenthal said.  But, I hope the community with take advantage of the opportunity to learn more through the programming we are offering on Stockton TV and on YouTube.

The TV schedule is attached and is also available on the Stockton website at stockton.edu.
