For many years, the Shalom Foundation has been inviting people to join the commemoration of the victims of the Holocaust by lighting a candle in the window. As Gołda Tencer appeals: “On this day, we would like to recall the shadows of those murdered in the ghettos and camps, a lit candle will be a symbol of remembrance. We appeal to everyone to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust on this day at 6:00 p.m. by placing a lit candle in the window. It is everyone’s duty to “Make sure that the light of remembrance never goes out in our consciousness.”
In response to the appeal of the Shalom Foundation, we encourage you to light a candle in your window on January 27 at 6 p.m.
Our duty is to remember.
