Faith In Brooklyn for Feb. 8
Holocaust Remembrance Program Emphasizes Need to Fight Injustice
The observance of Kristallnacht commemorations, or International Holocaust Remembrance Day, may take place on just a couple of calendar dates, but the urgent lessons learned on these occasions reach into everyday life.
That is the message that Dr. Eugene Marlow voiced during a presentation of his video, “Zikkaron/Kristallnacht (Remembrance of Kristallnacht)” on Jan. 27 during International Remembrance Day, as observed at Congregation Mount Sinai in Brooklyn Heights.
Marlow — an educator, composer, bandleader and videographer — spoke about the ultimate survival of the maternal side of his family as a victory over the Nazis’ Final Solution, as well as their success in the U.S. and the importance of speaking out against injustice even when one is not personally or directly affected.
