[[link removed]] WJC Friend,

As we all know, Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – will be very different
this year.

There will be no commemorative ceremonies anywhere in the world to bring people
together physically in solemn reflection.

But despite the effect that the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is having on our
lives, it is important that we continue to remember, to mark this special day
and to pay our respects to the victims of the Holocaust.

Please join World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder in an online Yom
HaShoah Commemorative Ceremony, on Monday, 20 April 2020 at 11:00 (New York),
17:00 (Brussels), 18:00 (Jerusalem). To view this commemoration live, please click here.

in addition to President Lauder, reflections by WJC Commissioner for Holocaust
Memory Dr. Charlotte Knobloch and WJC Executive Committee Member Amb. Colette
Avital, both survivors of the Shoah; an intervention by The Rt. Hon Lord Eric
Pickles, UK Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues, and will be moderated by
Yariv Nornberg and Reuven Rennert, members of the WJC Jewish Diplomatic Corps.

As the number of Holocaust survivors is sadly diminishing, the transmission of
the memory of the Shoah is now one of our most important tasks. Reaching younger
generations through digital means is now of paramount importance, and so we hope
you invite generations of friends and family to also participate.

In addition to this special WJC commemorative event, we have produced a selection of videos and films

their homes. The compilation is part of AboutHolocaust.org
[[link removed]] , a site WJC created in partnership with the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to provide young people with
much-needed facts about the Holocaust. World Jewish Congress

In this time of isolation, it is especially imperative that we come together
virtually and spiritually to share the stories of Holocaust survivors and to
further invest in Holocaust education. We must do everything we can to ensure
that “Never Again” really means never again.

Thank you, as always, for your continued loyalty and dedication to our mission.

WJC
