Holocaust Memorial Day

YOM HASHOAH - HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY - TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 2006

As the many e-mails you are receiving make clear, this week after Passover
is a very busy one for Hillel at Loyola.  Included in this week is the
27th of Nisan on the Jewish calendar, the day set aside to commemorate the
6 million Jewish victims of the Nazi Holocaust, which includes 2 million
Jewish children.  After World War II, the world Jewish community tried to find
a day on which to set this commemoration, and selected the date on the Jewish
calendar that marked the end of the battle of the Warsaw Ghetto, one of the
great examples of Jewish resistance during World War II.

Hillel will have a YOM HASHOAH COMMEMORATION TABLE in the CFSU LOBBY from
10 AM - 2 PM on TUESDAY, APRIL 25.

We will have the traditional 6 yarhzeit candles, symbolizing the 6
Million, and there will be a display of literature and resources about the
Holocaust.  We will also be showing videos about the Holocaust at the
Commemoration Table.

We hope you can take a few minutes out of your day to stop by the table
and reflect on the victims of the Holocaust - the 6 Million Jews and the 6
Million others who perished.
