Thursday, April 19th is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Hashoah).
Every victim has a name. In an effort to honor and remember the Holocaust's
martyrs and heroes, Jewish people and allies around the world will hold name-reading
memorials. Dartmouth College Hillel participates in this solemn event by reading
the names of victims from Collis patio from 10 AM- 4 PM on 4/19. Please help
us honor the memory of the 6 million Jews and the 5-6 million other people who
perished in the Holocaust, by helping us read the names of victims aloud.
By Sunday April, 15th, blitz Rebecca Gotlieb ([log in to unmask])
with a thirty-minute time slot on the hour or half hour in which you would be
willing to read names.
Additionally, Yom HaShoah is an important time to remember that genocide is an
ongoing tragic issue that has affected various communities and has affected relatives
of members of our own Dartmouth community. As such we will create a poster
displaying the names and photos of any Dartmouth Student's relatives who perished
in the Holocaust or any other genocide. By this Thursday April 12th, please
blitz "Rebecca Gotlieb" with as much of the following information as possible:
the names of your relatives who perished in a genocide, which genocide, the days
they lived, their relation to you, and photographs.
Thank you.

Everyone has a name
By Zelda
Everyone has a name
given to him by God
and given to him by his parents
Everyone has a name
given to him by his stature
and the way he smiles
and given to him by his clothing
Everyone has a name
given to him by the mountains
and given to him by the walls
Everyone has a name
given to him by the stars
and given to him by his neighbors
Everyone has a name
given to him by his sins
and given to him by his longing
Everyone has a name
given to him by his enemies
and given to him by his love
Everyone has a name
given to him by his holidays
and given to him by his work
Everyone has a name
given to him by the seasons
and given to him by his blindness
Everyone has a name
given to him by the sea and
given to him
by his death.
