The ceremony will take place in partnership with Inspire Church Houston at the Holocaust Garden of Hope, where HRA18 continues its mission to educate, heal, and reconcile across faiths. Featuring this event on your network would offer your audience a deeply moving and timely reflection on the importance of standing against hatred and indifference, now more than ever. The March of Life is an initiative by Jobst and Charlotte Bittner and TOS Ministries from Tübingen, Germany.

Over the past decade in Texas, where Governor Abbott has recently emphasized vigilance against antisemitism at colleges and universities, HRA18, through the March of Remembrance, has held multiple March of Remembrance public events at Texas Lone Star College System, Southern Methodist University (SMU), Texas A&M University, Rice University, and the University of St. Thomas.8:29 - Music program, bring a chair - Community interfaith prayer led by Rev.

Description:
How do we address the subject of perpetrators? How can we teach our students to understand the enormity of the crimes committed during the Holocaust? In this session, we will explore how individual decisions contribute to historical events and play a critical role in influencing the development of events in our society.
With a focus on the perpetrators, we will analyze how different actors during the Holocaust made choices, and thus shed some light on the dynamics of genocide. This webinar, led by Yad Vashem educator Sarah Levy, connects to Unit 9 on the Echoes & Reflections website.
