SOMA Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance March & Service
Join Morrow members at the 48th Annual SOMA Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Service on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at Congregation Beth El, South Orange.
The event begins at 3:00 PM with the March of Remembrance and Hope from Spiotta Park, honoring the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, along with millions of others who were brutally murdered by the Nazi regime. The service follows at 4:00 PM, exploring the theme of Resistance and Resilience with guest speaker Dr. Jud Newborn, an Emmy Award-winning historian and co-author of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose.
This year, Stephen Schwartz and Sylvia Ben-Asher, a Warsaw Ghetto survivor, will receive the Sister Rose Thering Holocaust Education Award for their impactful work in Holocaust education.
This interfaith event is a powerful stand against resurgent anti-semitism and hate. We invite the SOMA community to come together in remembrance — to honor the past, tell its story, and build a brighter future of tolerance and understanding.
