veiled4allah: a Holocaust remembrance day service brings faiths together veiled4allah: a Holocaust remembrance day service brings faiths togetherA 24-hour reading of the names of those who died in the Holocaust was followed by a memorial service on College Green yesterday evening in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day. Jewish studies scholar Alex Grobman wrapped up the day with a lecture on historical accuracy in Holocaust studies... ...Around 100 students participated in the reading of names, including Muslim Students Association board member Amir Memon.Thank you, brother Amir.
"I thought as far as the whole Holocaust remembrance [was concerned], it was very rewarding to be part of it," said the College and Wharton sophomore, who arrived at 7 a.m. yesterday morning to read names for nearly half an hour. "This past summer, I went to Poland. I visited the concentration camps in Auschwitz, and obviously it was such a powerful experience that memories still remain. When Holocaust Remembrance Day came up, I felt the need to pay tribute to the lives that were lost in this tragic event in history."
