YOM HASHOAH TRIBUTE GARDEN
A donation to grow our garden is a meaningful way to support our mission while remembering or celebrating a Survivor or victim. It is also a thoughtful way to commemorate Yom HaShoah, a day of remembrance. We invite you to add a flower to our Yom HaShoah virtual tribute garden to honor them or a hero of your choosing.
Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed as a day of commemoration for the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.
The date to commemorate Yom HaShoah was chosen because it marks the anniversary of the uprising at the Warsaw Ghetto. This was the largest, symbolically most important Jewish uprising, and the first urban rebellion, in German-occupied Europe. This resistance in Warsaw inspired other revolts in ghettos including Bialystok and Minsk and killing centers Treblinka and Sobibor.
Throughout the month, we will be remembering some of the heroes from the Warsaw Ghettos.
Your flower will represent a cherished person, never to be forgotten.
- Dedicate a flower in our virtual tribute garden with a gift of $18.
- Dedicate a rock with your loved one’s name on it in our on-site garden, along with a flower in our virtual tribute garden, with a gift of $36.
- Dedicate a flower in our virtual garden, a rock in our on-site garden, and send someone a card with a flower seed packet with a gift of $72.
