Since 1984, a coalition of community partners in Northwest Louisiana have held a remembrance service for victims of the Holocaust. Through our remembering and active cooperation, we strive to obliterate injustice.
Northwest Louisiana students are given the option to participate in the Holocaust Remembrance Literary and Arts Project. Students learn about the Holocaust, and produce poems, stories, essays, visual art, or musical compositions. Deadline to submit for the Project is March 1.
To honor the victims of one of humanity's worst moments, our community remembers the Holocaust with an annual ecumenical service.
Please register HERE to attend the service.
The Chair of the event this year is The Rev. Michael Cannon of
St. Paul's Episcopal Church
This year the guest speaker will be Kathy Kacer.
A child of Holocaust survivors, Kathy has written stories of hope, courage and humanity in the face of overwhelming adversity. Her books for young readers are sold around the world.
Eleven candles will be lit to honor the memories of eleven million people who lost their lives during the Holocaust. One candle will be lit to represent the modern tragedies due to hatred, prejudice and injustice.
We will share prayers and memories.
