Stories Related to Bystander’s Ability To Choose Is Topic Of Holocaust Program At Jcc

WILKES-BARRE — If you take away anything from the Holocaust, consider the importance of the bystander and their ability to make a choice. That was the message during the Holocaust Remembrance event held at the Jewish Community Center in Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, as the Jewish Community Alliance of Northeastern Pennsylvania prepared not just those of Jewish descent, but the community as a whole, for Yom Hashoah. A black-and-white photo of a concentration camp with the word “remember” printed in white lettering was projected onto a screen at the front of the Weiss auditorium inside the JCC, as members of Temple Israel, Temple B’Nai B’Rith and Ohav Zedek stood at the podium beneath it, addressing the crowd about numerous stories, facts and statistics about the elimination of Jews within the Nazi-controlled regime during World War II. The guest speaker for the evening was Stockton University’s Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Sister Carol Rittner, Ph.D.
