South Orange/Maplewood interfaith Holocaust service
South Orange-Maplewood Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Committee and the Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest’s NJ Holocaust Council will hold its 47th “Remember & Tell Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Service.” The program is on Sunday, April 14, beginning at 3 p.m., at Ricalton Square in Maplewood Village. It starts with a walk — the March of Remembrance and Hope — honoring the 11 million Holocaust victims and survivors. It goes down Maplewood Avenue, up Baker Street, and ends at Morrow Memorial United Methodist Church; there will be a service and program at the church at 4.
Violist Dr. Tamara Freeman of Ridgewood, a Holocaust musicologist, will perform a Holocaust lecture recital of music composed in WWII ghettos and concentration camps on her 1935 Joseph Bausch viola, which was rescued from Berlin in 1942. Various local choirs will perform with her.
Cantor Perry Fine of Temple Beth Shalom in Livingston will be awarded the prestigious Sister Rose Thering Holocaust Education award for his significant contributions to the SOMA Interfaith Holocaust Remembrance Service.
The commemoration also will feature prayers and reflections from leaders of different faiths, highlighting the collective commitment to combating hatred and bigotry. For information, go to .RememberandTell.org
