I was gratified to see Pearl Markovitz’s coverage of our Yom HaShoah Zoom presentation featuring Rabbi Jacob J. Schacter (“NNJ Holocaust Memorial and Education Center Marks Yom HaShoah,” April 23, 2020), who spoke so eloquently about his father, Rabbi Hershel Schacter zt”l, who was an army chaplain among the troops who liberated the Buchenwald concentration camp, and Professor Dennis Klein who presented an excellent PowerPoint about the guilt of bystanders during the Shoah. If you would like to hear Rabbi Schacter speak about his father’s experience and the importance of a local Holocaust Memorial, please go to our web site at www.nnjholocaustmemorial.org and scroll down to the first video.

We look forward to bringing more educational projects to the community while we enlist communal support in our efforts to build the Memorial & Education Center.
