The Atlanta Jewish community remembers The Shoah
On Yom HaShoah the Atlanta Jewish community will join others around the world in honoring those murdered during the Holocaust. Unto Every Person There is a Name is an is a remembrance ceremony led by volunteers who read the name, age and place of death of those who were martyred in The Shoah. Organized by Achim/Gate City (Atlanta) Lodge of B’nai B’rith International and Jewish Community Relations Council of Atlanta the event began more than 25 years ago with a handful of volunteers that has grown into hundreds of participants who attend the live and virtual readings.
This year, the format has changed from 10 minute shifts to five-minute shifts and names will be read for about seven hours. Previously held on the steps of the Georgia State Capitol, this year it will take place at the Selig Center from 8am-11am and then virtually from 11am –3pm on April 24.
