Holocaust Remembrance to Take Place on March 27

CRANFORD — Cranford’s 13th Annual Community Holocaust Day of Remembrance will be held on Wednesday, March 27, at 7 p.m. This annual township-wide event is organized by the Cranford Clergy Council, the Cranford Interfaith Human Relations Committee, Cranford Public Schools and Saint Michael School. It aims to honor the memory of the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust while educating about the horrors of genocide.

The featured speaker this year will be Mark Schonwetter, who survived the Holocaust as a young boy with his mother and sister in the forests of Poland and in the homes of Polish people. He has since devoted himself to sharing his story through his foundation to teach the values of kindness and respect.

Rabbi Paul Kerbel, of Cranford’s Temple Beth-El Mekor Chayim synagogue and chair of the Cranford Clergy Council, will introduce the evening’s speakers and performances. Speakers will include Cranford Township Mayor Brian Andrews and Cranford Public Schools Superintendent Scott Rubin, Ed.D.

Performers will include the Orange Avenue School and Hillside Avenue School combined chorus, an original dance by the Cranford High School Performing Arts Dance Academy, a song by the Cranford High School Madrigals, and original poetry written by Saint Michael School students.

Hillside Avenue School is located at 125 Hillside Avenue, Cranford. This event is free and open to the public. It also will be recorded and aired on Cranford’s TV35.
