Monday, May 6 | 10am – 5pm | Pioneer Courthouse Square
Every year on Yom HaShoah, the Day of Remembrance, communities around the world uphold the memory of victims of the Holocaust through the Reading of the Names, a public recitation of Holocaust victims’ names, ages, and birthplaces. On Monday, May 6, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education will sponsor the Reading of the Names at Pioneer Courthouse Square. A selection of community members and elected officials will be reading the names of those murdered in the Holocaust.
Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, will be observed beginning with a memorial service on Sunday, May 5 at 5pm at Beth Israel and continuing with the Reading of the Names on Monday, May 6 in Pioneer Courthouse Square. Both events will take place in person.
