1944: At the Edge of the Abyss Memorial Program
The events of 1944 demonstrate the extent to which the Jews were the primary target for destruction, forced to contend with unheard of, unimagined tortures both physical and mental, spiritual and emotional. The expedited murder of Hungarian Jewry by the Nazis is but one example of how the Jews of Europe stood at the edge of the abyss in 1944 - the final year in which transports continued, gas chambers churned, and whole communities and families were destroyed.
Our memorial programs are uniquely designed to ensure a powerful and meaningful experience for everyone. They are fitting for all ages and can be altered to suit the needs of any audience or time frame. They also make for wonderful private reading for Yom HaShoah or any Holocaust memorial learning opportunity. Some selections can also be shared through artistic representation.
HOW TO UTILIZE THIS PROGRAM:
- Narrow down selections based on your desired program length
- Assign readings. During the ceremony, the MC should call up each reader by name.
- Prepare table and candles
- Ensure set up of audio/visual logistics for sharing of any accompanying presentation that runs simultaneous as a background to the ceremony
