JFCS of Southern Arizona

On June 21, more than 40 Holocaust survivors, family, caregivers, and staff came together at Jewish Family & Children’s Services of Southern Arizona to laugh, dance, socialize, and feel the love of our community at this year’s Holocaust Survivor Day, a day just for them! The smiles on the faces of our Holocaust survivors said it all as they reminisced and danced to live Klezmer music, enjoyed a delicious brunch, and toasted the Fathers in the room and those no longer with us. While the official date of Holocaust Survivor Day is June 4, we held our community celebration on June 21, thanks to a grant from the Seed the Dream Foundation and KAVOD SHEF, as well as local support from Devoted Guardians.

For the third year in a row, Jewish Family & Children’s Services has received a grant from the Seed the Dream Foundation in support of a Holocaust Survivor Day program. While the National Holocaust Survivor Day is today, June 4, our community celebration will be held on June 21 with a lavish brunch and live Klezmer music.

Throughout the year our Holocaust survivors are called upon to speak to diverse groups within our community. While it is not easy, they share their stories because they know the critical nature of their testimonies in changing attitudes and lives. In addition to speaking, they are present at community programs in commemoration of Yom HaShoah and International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

The special nature of Holocaust Survivor Day is that there is no “agenda”; it is truly a day just for them to celebrate their lives and what they have given and continue to give us. All Southern Arizona Holocaust survivors will come together, regardless of country of birth or language spoken, for a day of joy, honor and friendship. This celebration provides a much-needed respite from the news of the world, including increased antisemisitm, individual health struggles and the passing of fellow survivors.

Jewish Family & Children’s Services is honored to be able to provide this special day, just for them!

Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is more than another date on the calendar. It is a time to honor the lives of the brave, resilient Holocaust survivors who against all odds, survived one of the largest atrocities in our history. It is also a time to remember those who were murdered for nothing more than being Jewish. This year’s Yom HaShoah commemoration will be held Sunday, April 12, 2:00 p.m. at the Tucson J Ballroom and will focus on the legacy our Holocaust survivors wish to leave behind. Through shared readings from our community’s Rabbis and professional staff, Holocaust survivor candle lighting and legacy video, your participation will round out this moving community commemoration.
