Since 1979, members of the South Hills faith community have united each spring to remember the victims of the Holocaust. Led by a team of interfaith leaders, the Holocaust Observance offers community members an opportunity to pray, reflect, discuss and remember.
In difficult and dangerous times, there have always been brave souls who stand their moral ground. The courage and resilience of both those in danger and those who stepped forward to save them are constant reminders of the difference one person can make.
This year’s remembrance, Many Small Miracles, will examine excerpts from “The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust’s Shadow” by Krystyna Chiger. In the book, Krystyna recounts the story of her survival as a child as her family went from their beautiful wealthy home to the Lvov Ghetto and then into the sewers to live out the final fourteen months of the Holocaust.
SHIM coordinates this program to educate and unite our extraordinary South Hills faith community.
