The annual Yom HaShoah Commemoration to remember the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust will take place on Wednesday, 27th April 2022 at 7:30pm HKT. The Hong Kong Holocaust & Tolerance Centre presents a special Live Virtual Discussion with Rena Quint. Rena was liberated from Bergen Belsen in 1945, aged 9 years. Now living in Israel, she speaks movingly of unimaginable atrocities in the camps, the loss of her entire family and her own struggle for survival. Join us for the opportunity to listen and talk directly to Rena.
As we are not able to gather at the JCC this year we invite you to take part in a communal candle lighting where you light a candle at home while those online do so too. These lights in Hong Kong and from wherever people are participating in this virtual commemoration will allow us to connect with each other and to shine a commemorative light in the dark shadow of the Shoah.
