Cranford To Host Holocaust Day Of Remembrance
The Cranford program will stream Wednesday night. There are an estimated 80,000 Nazi Holocaust survivors in the United States.
CRANFORD, NJ — Holocaust remembrance events are taking place around the county this month, including in local communities. The events serve to help remember victims and survivors of the Nazi Holocaust and to provide education so similar circumstances never occur again.
The end of the Nazi regime occurred in spring of 1945. There are still 80,000 survivors of the Holocaust living in the U.S., approximately a third of whom live in poverty.
The 10th Annual Cranford Community Holocaust Day of Remembrance takes place this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

A White House proclamation this month noted:
On Yom HaShoah — Holocaust Remembrance Day — we stand in solidarity with the Jewish people in America, Israel, and around the world to remember and reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust. An estimated 6 million Jews perished alongside millions of other innocent victims — Roma and Sinti, Slavs, disabled persons, LGBTQ+ individuals, and others — systematically murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators in one of the cruelest and most heinous campaigns in human history.
...Having borne witness to the depths of evil, these survivors remind us of the vital refrain: “never again.”
