Holocaust Awareness Week
Each year, the Holocaust Awareness Council commemorates Yom HaShoah by hosting a week of educational and remembrance events, sponsored by the Ebner family. Yom HaShoah ve HaGevurah (meaning "day of destruction and strength") is a day of remembrance in the Jewish calendar set aside to commemorate both the victims and the heroes of the Holocaust. This year, Yom HaShoah is Sunday, April 7th. All Ohio State students and Columbus community members are welcome to any of these events. Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns.
