A time to look forward, About
a time to remember John Loftus
By Betsy O. Karotkin
Director, Community Relations and HRD
Pril is spring, the month that brings with it the promise of
renewed fife. We look forward in April forward to longer
days, to gardens bursting with color, to the feel of sun on skin
that has been hidden beneath layers of winter clothing. But for Jews,
April is more than a time to look forward. It is also a time of remem-
brance. It is a month each of us is called upon to personally relive the
Exodus, to experience the journey of our people from slavery to free-
dom, to remember that God took us out of Egypt because even God
remembered that He had a covenant with the Jewish people.
It is easy to remember the miracles. It is not so easy, however, to
remember the great tragedy of our time, much less comprehensible
than the Exodus -- the Holocaust, also commemorated in April. On
April 23, Yom Hashoah, the Tidewater Jewish Community will gather,
along with Jewish communities all over the word, as it does every
year. We gather not to try to understand or explain the unfathomable:
we gather to remember. Perhaps we could say, "Dayenu" it is
enough to remember. But memory alone is not enough. We owe them
the 6 million of our people more, much more. And we owe our
children more, as well as the generations to come. Yom Hashoah. there-
fore, is both a time to remember and a time for commitment. Memory
alone will not transmit the legacy of the survivors and the victims. We
must ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust are part of every child's
schooling. We must do it; there is no one else.
The Holocaust Commission of the United Jewish Federation invites
the entire community to participate in the Yom Hashoah Observance,
Thursday, April 23, 7:00 PM at Temple Israel, as well as all of the other
community Holocaust programs.
April is, indeed, a month when we look forward. It is also a time to
remember. And to act.
The White Rose
Hans and Sophie Scholl, young
and idealistic German students,
were appalled by what was happen-
ing around them in 1943. They
formed a resistance group called
"The White Rose" and heroically
protested the policies and actions of
the Nazi regime. Hans, his sister
Sophie, and many of the students
and teachers that were eventually
arrested and executed.
