The Tri-City Interfaith Council invites the public to attend their annual Yom HaShoah (Holocaust) Remembrance Service on Sunday, April 11, at 7:30 p.m. The service is held on Zoom. Advanced registration is required and can be done at bit.ly/YomHaShoah5781. This year, Ralph Samuel will be the featured speaker. Mr. Samuel was born in Dresden, Germany, in 1931. At age 7½, he was sent alone on a Kindertransport to England to escape the Holocaust. At the outbreak of war, he was evacuated to the English countryside to escape the expected bombing. His talk is titled “Remembering the Kindertransports.” Mr. Samuel was educated in England and at age 27 immigrated to the United States. In 1962, he moved to California and in 1997, he retired after 25 years in public agency real estate. Mr. Samuel has been a member of the JFCS Holocaust Center’s William J. Lowenberg Speakers Bureau. In 2010 and 2011, he went back to Dresden and Heidelberg, speaking to students and adults in German. In 2015, Ralph was again in Dresden, speaking to high school students at the Gymnasium that he would have attended were it not for the Holocaust. The service is free and open to everyone. When held in person, a free will offering is typically received. Since this gathering will be on Zoom, attendees are encouraged to make a donation to “Facing History and Ourselves,” an education organization. Their website is www.facinghistory.org/. |
