Nearly 200 people, including 66 eighth-graders from Ann Arbor STEAM,
attended the International Holocaust Remembrance Day observance
at the Holocaust Memorial Center on Jan. 26. In addition to docent-led
tours of the HMC, the crowd was captivated by a one-hour presentation
by Holocaust survivor Henry Friedman, a frequent HMC speaker.
In his speech, he specifically addressed the students about the critical
role education plays in helping to curtail hatred, discrimination and geno-
cide. Friedman, an award-winning artist, has three of his sculptures on
display at the Holocaust Memorial Center as part of the “Sifting Through
Ashes” exhibit, running until March 27.
“The ‘Sifting Through Ashes’ exhibit supports our important mission of
education and learning lessons from the Holocaust, which, in a world still
filled with hate and bigotry, is more important than ever,” said Rabbi Eli
Mayerfeld, CEO of the HMC. •
