Shabbat Kedoshim- Hashoah 2024: Frasier, Tao and a Song by Rabbi Aaron Flanzraich
Yom HaShoah translates to ‘Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah' in Hebrew, meaning ‘Day of the Remembrance of the Holocaust and Heroism.' ‘HaShoah' also translates to ‘whirlwind.' The day was officially recognized on April 12, 1951, in the Israeli parliament. Falling on the 27th of the month of Nisan on the Jewish calendar, the day comes a week after the Passover holiday. Join Tree of Life as we honor those that were murdered in the shoah. For more about us, please visit www.treeoflifeca.org

Because You Asked: What is Yom Hashoah Holocaust Remembrance Day?
Move to the grouping of photos on the left side of this exhibit. These buildings and places represent “Places of Ha’Shoah” – places where the events of the Holocaust took place. Tucson photographer Cy Lehrer used heavy black borders and film base to enhance the dramatic effect of his imagery. This technique encourages the viewer to experience the starkness of the photo and suggests an environment that would allow for incomprehensible crimes to take place.
Near the “Places of Ha’Shoah” images is another grouping titled “Fragments of the Budapest Ghetto.” These scenes are from an old Jewish section of Pest, Hungary, a district of 19th century buildings near the Danube River. Here the Nazis established a large ghetto in June 1944, several months after occupying Hungary and deporting virtually every Jew living in the provinces. Budapest’s 220,000 Jews were forced into 2,000 houses marked with a yellow star. In October, Hungarian Fascists began their program of anti-Jewish violence, even as Soviet troops approached the city. In November, thousands of Jews were shot and thrown into the Danube and preparations were made for massive deportation of those remaining. The Soviets occupied Budapest on Jan. 18, 1945, and an estimated 120,000 Jews were saved. Dominating the Jewish section is the Moorish-style Dohany Street Synagogue, a huge, ornate, twin-towered structure inaugurated in 1859 by the city’s Neolog (Reform) congregation. The largest active synagogue in Europe, it seats 3,000 and has undergone a full restoration that was completed in 2009. During the war, the church was fenced off and used as a concentration camp for Jews massed prior to deportation. In the arcade courtyard are individual and mass graves of thousands of Budapest’s ghetto victims. Another courtyard contains a memorial to Hungarian Holocaust victims, a weeping willow tree created in granite and steel, by Hungarian sculptor Irma Varga. On nearby Sip Street are found the offices of the Central Board of Hungarian Jews, the Budapest Jewish Community, the World Jewish Congress and the American Joint Distribution Committee. The immediate neighborhood offers an Orthodox Mikvah, kosher restaurants, grocers and wine shops, Jewish gift shops and three Jewish schools.
Our Holocaust Remembrance continues, as we take a look at the 1989 documentary WEAPONS OF THE SPIRIT. Last week, we talked about Claude Lanzmann's 1985 landmark film SHOAH: a film which chronicles, in great detail, the process by which the German Nazis went about planning and executing the horrors of the genocide of the European Jewry. This week's film looks at The Atrocity through a very different, but no less important lens. WEAPONS OF THE SPIRIT focuses largely on the inhabitants of a small French village called Le Chambon-sur-Lignon. These inhabitants, while under Nazi occupation, made it their collective mission to shelter any Jew that came through their township. It is estimated that the citizens of the area of Le Chambon managed to save the lives of approximately 5,000 Jews. For today's episode, Lady P is joined by WEAPONS' director, Pierre Sauvage, to talk about his approach to the subject. They discuss how he went about putting together this documentary, and his commitment to historical accuracy. And perhaps most importantly, they discuss why it is just as critical to remember the great acts of courage and heroism displayed under these harrowing circumstances as it is to remember the evils of the Holocaust.
The evening of Wednesday April 15th, 2015 marks the start of Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. In recognition of this occasion we thought it would be appropriate to discuss the 29th entry on the Sight and Sound List: Claude Lanzmann's 1985 film, SHOAH. On today's episode, Lady P is joined by her friend, Michael Adams, to talk about Lanzmann's 9 and a half hour documentary, which details the process by which Nazi Germany went about extinguishing the European Jewry. In the discussion they talk about Lanzmann's interview techniques, the way the film is structured, and why SHOAH remains one of the greatest testaments to the power of both journalistic and elegiac filmmaking.
My father, Nat Shaffir, talked to me about his experience in the Holocaust as a young boy. My father rarely, if ever, shared any of this with us growing up, so I'm glad I got a chance to hear him say it. This was originaly posted on the Skeptic Tank feed on Deathsquad, but since a lot of people didn't know about it there, and being Yom Hashoah today, I thought it was a good oportunity to repost it. These stories are hard to digest at points but I think it's important enough to continue to listen despite any level of discomfort.
What message can we take from the commemoration of Yom Hashoah? What are the implications of the Shoah for us? (12 minutes)
