Yom Ha~Shoah

April 21, Holocaust Remembrance Day

On Tuesday, April 21 at 12:15 to 12:45 there will be a Moment of Silence and the Tolling of the College Bells starting outside Abbey Memorial Chapel followed by a short service of remembrance inside the Interfaith Chapel.

During the Holocaust, the Nazis killed not only Jews but also millions of other people who threatened the Nazi goal of creating a world dominated by the "Aryan race."  Triangular badges were used to identify the different groups of people in the concentration camps.  If you fit into more than one "group" you would wear the different triangles, one overlapping the other.

We are offering colored triangles for our Mount Holyoke community to wear on April 21 in memory of all those who lost their lives during the Holocaust with the determination that all genocides will end.  Please join us.  Triangles are available Monday and Tuesday, April 20 and 21 in the Eliot House Lounge and on Tuesday at our table in Blanchard.
