The Columbia Holocaust Education Commission commemorated Yom HaShoah on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at Beth Shalom Synagogue and on Monday, April 20, 2026, at Dreher High School and Hammond Middle School addressing more than 550 students.
After a deeply moving candle lighting ceremony dedicated to those who have lost their lives in the immense tragedy of the Holocaust, and to those who carry their message on today, our keynote speaker, Dan Grunfeld shared his family’s story.
