In remembrance of those lost in the Shoah, we will read aloud names of victims beginning at approximately 6PM, and continuing until approximately midnight, on Wednesday, May 4th. We will resume reading names at 7:00 a.m. Thursday, May 5th and continuing until the Community Service at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday evening at First Congregational Church of Montclair, hosted by the Montclair Clergy Association.

While Jews were persecuted during this time in history, it is important to remember that gays and lesbians, as well as individuals with disabilities, were also targeted. Lists of names representing these groups will also be available for reading aloud. In addition we will have the names of 8,000 Muslim Males killed in 1995 by the Bosnian Serb Government & Army (followed by the Ethnic Cleansing of Screbrenica).

Any and all are welcome and encouraged to honor the memories of those who suffered. Sign up below or just come to pay respects. You may bring names of family members to read aloud, or share personal artifacts.
