During the Holocaust so much was known by people who could have made a difference, but the silence was resounding.  Please join us for the 24th Annual Interfaith Yom HaShoah Commemoration as Tali Nates, Executive Director of the Johannesburg, South Africa, Holocaust & Genocide Centre, addresses the many instances during the Holocaust when people’s silence led to the persecution and death of millions.  Ms. Nates will also share the story of her father and uncle whose lives were saved by Oscar Schindler, a man who refused to remain silent in the face of atrocity.   Her powerful message will clearly highlight not only the tragic consequences of being a bystander, but also the life-giving results that occur when one acts as an upstander. 

The event, presented by the Council for Holocaust Education of the Jewish Federation of Tulsa, is in partnership with the Tulsa City/County Library, the Circle Cinema, B’nai Emunah Synagogue and Temple Israel.  This year’s Commemoration will be held in person at B’nai Emunah Synagogue on Thursday, April 28 at 7:00 pm.  There will also be a virtual opportunity available.
