This Passover, help us 
make it possible to celebrate 
another kind of freedom.

Freedom from a pandemic.

As the coronavirus pandemic continues to rage around the world, 

there’s reason for hope. And no country has offered more hope for 

what life might be like again than Israel, which has led the world in 

immunizing its people.

Magen David Adom, Israel’s paramedic and Red Cross service, has 

played a major role in this success. MDA has treated tens of thousands 

of stricken Israelis, administered Covid tests to more than 4 million, 

and vaccinated Israel’s most vulnerable populations, including all its 

nursing home residents.

When you support Magen David Adom, 

your gift has an immediate impact in 

helping Israelis — today and every day. 

Make a gift today. Pesach kasher v’sameach.

Holocaust 
Memorial Center 
Commemorates 
Yom HaShoah 

The worldwide Holocaust 
memorial project “Unto Every 
Person There is a Name” is 
designed to perpetuate the 
memory of the Six Million 
— among them 1.5 children 
— murdered while the world 
remained silent. 
 The project offers the 
opportunity to remember them 
as individuals — one at a time 
— through the public reading of 
their names on Yom HaShoah 
during a Holocaust Memorial 
Center community broadcast 
Thursday, April 8, at 7 p.m. at 
holocaustcenter.org. 
 You can help to restore the 
identity and dignity of the 
victims of the Holocaust by 
participating in the virtual 
name-recitation ceremony 
by memorializing those who 
perished.
