Program: Holocaust Remembrance Day

Watch the webcast  – streamed live at concert time.

Yom HaShoah—Holocaust Remembrance Day—is observed annually as a commemoration for the approximately six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, commonly centering educational programs that include talks by Holocaust survivors, readings, and music.

This program will feature speakers including Holocaust survivor Carol Wilner, a performance of songs by soprano and Oberlin Conservatory alumna Emily Mandell '23 with pianist Thomas Bandy, and a performance of Gideon Klein's String Trio by Oberlin Conservatory String Department faculty—violinist Sibbi Bernhardsson, violist Kirsten Docter, and cellist Dmitry Kouzov. This piece was written in Terezín by Klein 10 days before he was moved to Auschwitz. He perished at the sub-camp of Fürstengrube in 1944. Bernhardsson will perform on one of the violins from the Violins of Hope collection. Three additional violins from the collection will be on display in the Conservatory.

Admission is free.
