Annual March of Remembrance

In 2014, we organized our first March of Remembrance, with two synagogues, four churches, and 175 community members participating. This event has steadily grown, with four synagogues, 12 churches, many civic leaders, and 425 people coming last year.

Our March of Remembrance is a time to gather together, center ourselves with music, prayerfully and reverently walk for the victims, and listen deeply to Holocaust survivors. Other speakers have helped us remember too - we've had a representative of the Israeli consulate in Los Angeles, a state senator, an assemblywoman, and a county supervisor all participate in this event. The centerpiece of our program is honoring the survivors who are present, as well as those who have recently passed on.  This year, we were sad to be remembering three survivors of our area who recently died.

As the years go by, we'll inevitably lose more Holocaust survivors and their firsthand accounts. So we have a sense of urgency to add to the March of Remembrance by building something more permanent.

Our foundation is actively planning to build a permanent Holocaust Memorial in Town Square Memorial Park in Murrieta, California.
