In Cape Town, we hosted the annual Yom Hashoah Memorial Service which was attended by more than 600 members of our community, Holocaust survivors, 2nd/3rd/4th generation survivors, religious leaders, community leaders, political parties, consulates, school students and more.
We came together to honour the memory of the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust. It was a solemn event, featuring a diverse programme of messages, prayers, poems, and songs.
This year we marked the 80th anniversary of the deportation of Jews from Rhodes as well as the deportation from Hungary.
