How about checking out the Holocaust Memorials? There’s the one at Battery Park City and the one in Sheepshead Bay.

Another idea would be to see if you can speak with survivors. I’d like to start a program where descendants of Jewish victims of Arab anti-semitism can speak. I can speak to the struggles faced by Jews in Syria and Yemen on a firsthand basis. Our story is one that needs to be told somehow. IY”H, I plan on speaking this week with a friend’s grandparents, who were Sephardic Survivors of the Shoah, whose story goes unnoticed and forgotten in many cases. The Nazis, y”s, destroyed countless Sephardic communities in Greece, Salonica, Monastir, Rhodes, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, and other such places in the Balkans, where such greats as the Binyamin Ze’ev, Pele Yoetz, Hakham Salomon Gaon, and others hailed from.
