– The San Antonio Jewish community gathered Monday night to mark Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, a day that honors six million jews who perished in the Holocaust, along with those that also survived.
Davis Met sees the day as an opportunity to both educate the community and invite them to the museum. “Throughout the year we will have special programming to educate more on the history of the Holocaust. We really focus now on the lessons that we’ve learned from the Holocaust. How can we carry those forward, not only in remembering Jewish hatred, and antisemitism, and combating that in our communities, but also all forms of hate and prejudice and bigotry,” Davis Met said.
The Holocaust Memorial Museum of San Antonio is located at the corner off Wurzbach Parkway and Northwest Military Highway. It’s free and open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.Copyright 2023 by KSAT - All rights reserved.
