The event took place Sunday at the Holocaust monument.
The Harrisburg-area Jewish community observed Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday morning with a ceremony at the Holocaust Monument, Front and Sayford streets.
This is the first of several significant events this week. Beginning Wednesday evening and continuing through Thursday evening, the Jewish community will commemorate Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, with the Reading of Names program to be held at Beth El Temple, 2637 N. Front St., Harrisburg. This meaningful program will begin at 7:30 p.m. with an opening service led by students from the Silver Academy and congregational Religious Schools.
It will be followed by a vigil in which the names of those who died during the Holocaust will be read continuously over a period of 24 hours. The Reading of Names seeks to dignify the memories of victims of the Shoah by reading their names aloud. These victims were stripped of their names by their oppressors and tattooed with numbers.
