READING OF THE NAMES

At this time of the year, people all over the United States and all over

the world, will hold a ceremony to commemorate Holocaust victims by

reading their names as part of the “Unto Every Person There is a Name”

program and Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This program is an effort to remember the victims and to restore some

dignity to those who were stripped of their identities and robbed of their lives.

Join with B’nai Brith at B’nai Sholom Temple

as together we read the names of all

who perished during the Holocaust.

Volunteers Needed to Read Names

8:00 AM through 5:00 PM

AT THE HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL (CORNER OF 10TH STREET AND 10TH AVENUE)

B’NAI SHOLOM CONGREGATION

To reserve a time to read names, please call the Temple office

or Herman Glaser at 525-4582.

Special Addition to Program at 5:30 PM in the Temple Sanctuary

Oral historian, Arwen Donahue and photographer Rebecca Gayle Howell

will discuss their book, ―"This is Home Now: Kentucky’s Holocaust Survivors Speak."

The book focuses on the journeys of European Jews who survived the Holocaust,

and following World War II came to the United States and eventually to Kentucky.

John Rosenberg, one of the survivors interviewed in the book will also speak.

He was born in Germany and came to the United States in 1940.

John was Chief of the Criminal Section of the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division

under President Johnson, and served as director of the Prestonsburg, Kentucky-based

Appalred, a public interest law firm, for over thirty years. He has received many prestigious awards

and accolades, both locally and nationally, for his service to community through law.

Donahue’s collection of interviews with Holocaust survivors who settled in Kentucky

is the only oral history project that takes as its focus the postwar lives of a group

of Holocaust survivors within a particular geographic region of the United States.

It is an important work that gives a genuine understanding of the differences and

difficulties of survivors in putting their lives together following the trauma of the Holocaust.

Arwen Donahue has served as program coordinator in the Department of Oral History

at the U.S. Holocaust Museum and managed its Post-Holocaust Interview Project.

Rebecca Gayle Howell, writer and documentary photographer,

is on the creative writing faculty at Morehead State University.

This program is part of the Ohio River Festival of Books and partially funded by the West Virgnia Humanities Council.

Anyone who can help set up, please be here at 7:00 AM
