VERMONT HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL (VTHM), JEWISH COMMUNITY OF GREATER STOWE (JCOGS) TO PRESENT 

A VERMONT STAGE THEATER PERFORMANCE ON HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY

“AND THEN THEY CAME FOR ME—Remembering the World of Anne Frank”

Calendar Note: This free educational event is suitable for Vermonters in grade 6 and up.  Advance registration is required--space is limited.

WHAT: The Vermont Holocaust Memorial, a nonprofit working to advance Holocaust education in Vermont, in partnership with JCOGS, is pleased to present a multimedia reading performance that is part oral history, part dramatic action, part direct address, part remembrance. “And Then They Came for Me” is like an historic newsreel brought to life. The presentation is sponsored in part by Vermont Humanities, the Greater Stowe Interfaith Coalition, and is part of Temple Sinai’s “HALT (((H8)))” initiative.

WHEN: Sunday, May 5th, 4:00 to 6:30 pm. The play will last for 90 minutes with no intermission. The event will also include traditional memorial prayers and a candle lighting ceremony. An interactive, optional “talk back” about the rise of antisemitism will follow the performance.

LOCATION: Jewish Community of Greater Stowe (JCOGS), 1189 Cape Cod Road, Stowe, VT 

COST: Free to the public. Advance registration required at: https://www.jcogs.org/event/yom-hashoah1.html
