Day of Remembrance for the Holocaust

Written by  Michelle Mears-Gerst

The month of May was kicked off with a ceremony called, Remembrance Day for those who suffered in the Holocaust.

In Murrieta at Town Square, the March of Remembrance was held to honor the living and the dead on Holocaust Memorial Day.

The event was held because organizers are raising awareness about the growing anti-Semitism movement in Europe stemming from the influx of Islamists into the European countries. This movement is reportedly now spreading across the United States.

Jews and Christians are uniting at the United Nation Level as well to raise awareness about the hate towards their people that is creeping slowly back into society.

In August 2015, Laurie Cardoza-Moore, president of the Christian Zionist organization spoke to the United Nations and said, “If you look at the Islamists, they are targeting both the ‘Saturday people’ and ‘Sunday people,’” she said, referring to the Jewish and Christian days of rest. “It is amazing how they are able to connect us together as the people of the book. It is because they see us as one in the same.”

“If we don’t protect our Jewish brethren, they will be coming after the Christians next,” added Cardoza-Moore. “And sure enough, we see Christians being slaughtered all over the Middle East.”

Communities like Murrieta are spreading the message to never forget. People of Jewish and Christian faith believe it is important to join forces in an effort to make sure the world never forgets the atrocities that took place before and during WWII.

Jewish Stars worn during WWII

May Day was chosen with purpose. In the late 19th century, May Day was also the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International.

On May, 1, close to 400 people attended the ceremony that was held under a tent. Retired U.S. Navy Chaplain Bob Black was the first to speak.

The emotionally charged ceremony began with, 'God Bless America,' and was sung by, Jordan Frazer. One by one, rabbis and pastors spoke to the crowd and guest speakers including Holocaust survivors spoke about the past and Israel's current political issues.

Lighting candles

Member of the Israeli Knesset, Sherran Haskel who was a member of the Israeli Defense Force spoke to the crowd about how Christians are helping Israel keep their freedom. Haskel updated the crowd about conditions in the Middle East and said, “Israel is the solution in the Middle East."

The grand-niece of Oskar Schindler, Rosemary Schindler was in tears speaking about the atrocities the Jewish people experienced. Shindler was a German industrialist, a spy, and a member of the Nazi Party. He helped save the lives of 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his enamelware and ammunitions factories in occupied Poland, Bohemia, and Moravia. Hollywood made a film in 1993, called Schindler's List.

Rosemary Shindler works with the Skyline Church in San Diego. Pastor Jim Garlow, from Skyline, also was in attendance.

As the anti-Semitism grows in Europe, Christians and Jews will remain united around the world to stop another Holocaust from happening. Dr. Edena Polgar, a consul from Hungary spoke about the hate towards the Jewish community rising in her country.
The message from every speaker was, “We must never forget, so not to repeat.”

Nazi Symbols

Towards the end of the event, a very moving ceremony was held. Holocaust survivors, along with guest speakers helped light seven candles in memory to those who died in the Holocaust and to honor those who survived.

As Remembrance Day came to a close a BBC Broadcast was played. Images of Holocaust survivors being freed from the concentration camps were shown. An audio of the survivors singing brought tears to the audience. The song was the Hatikya meaning, “The Hope.”
