Yom HaShoah programming at JKHA middle school and RKYHS placed an emphasis on perpetuating the memory and legacy of all those that perished and survived the Holocaust, with the increased understanding post October 7 of this incredible responsibility, and the importance, now more than ever to “Never Forget.” RKYHS gathered as a school to commemorate the day. Student representatives came up one by one to share the stories of their relative’s survival, reinforcing the message of how our ancestors live on through their descendants. The students then exited through the Seryl and Charles Kushner Holocaust Memorial Garden as “Ani Maamin” was poignantly played on the violin. Students had the opportunity to reflect on the importance of the day during an afternoon class period and put it in context with the current news.
