This event is free and open to the public. Guests may park in the white-lined spaces on the Rockville Campus of Montgomery College. The Commemoration will be held on Yom Hashoah, the Day of Remembrance of the six-million who died, and will pay tribute to victims as well as to survivors who convey tremendous courage in remembering and in helping us to remember. This year’s program will feature two Holocaust survivors who will share their experiences. Mohamed Yahya, a refugee from the Darfur region of Sudan and founder and executive director of the Damanga Coalition for Freedom and Democracy, will also speak. Yahya was part of the first human rights group to alert the international community to human rights abuses in western Sudan. To learn more about Yahya’s Coalition and its work, visit this site: http://www.damanga.org/. The Commemoration will begin with a reading not merely of names, but of narratives about real people from many diverse backgrounds who experienced Nazi persecution. Many of these people resisted genocide in some way. A partial exhibit of “Portraits of Life: Holocaust Survivors of Montgomery County,” a documentary project created to tell the stories of survivors who have lived in and around Montgomery County, will also be shown at the commemoration. “Portraits of Life” can be viewed online at: http://www.montgomerycollege.edu/humanities/?page=portraits_of_life
