Yom HaShoah

AJR members participated at several events to commemorate Yom HaShoah:

On Sunday 7 April, Holocaust survivors and AJR members Lili Stern-Pohlmann and Janine Webber were the guest speakers at the annual Pinner Synagogue event. .

Members were also invited to attend the annual Yom HaShaoh commemoration which also took place on Sunday 7 April at the national memorial to the Holocaust at The Dell in Hyde Park. This event was organised by the Forum for Yom HaShoah in conjunction with the Board of Deputies. AJR member Rev Bernd Koschland gave one of the addresses; others gave readings and Kaddish was recited.

On Tuesday 9 April, there was a small ceremony at the AJR Centre at Belsize Square Synagogue at 12pm led by Rabbi Stuart Altshuler.

We were very grateful to Robert Brody, Michael Shocket and Dudley Cohen for arranging a performance of Renya: the Cobbler’s Daughter, presented by the Lorenz Ensemble, on Sunday 22 April at the Kenton Synagogue. The proceeds from the £10 tickets went to the AJR.
