For one 2 week each year. That means memorializing sev-? en days for six million men, women , and children who entered the GerJg man killing machines throughout Eu|Q rope with little hope of help and barley a chance at survival. Columbia is not alone in holdring memorial ceremonies for those who didn't survive the German crimes 5 against humanity in World War II. Many cities worldwide also hold similar ceremonies. On the official world Holocaust 5 Remembrance Day 1999, called Yom ^ Hashoah in Hebrew, a special ceremony that befitted a tragedy was attended by nearly 400 people. The Holocaust is not an easy subo ject to approach in any circumstance. ^ Six million people died simply be^ cause they were Jewish. 45 At the 1999 Remembrance Day for Jewish Martyrdom and Heroism, o held at the Beth Shalom synagogue, 11 survivors overcame the tremen1 moy inp jjy putr jujds u ISEI2 1/ = TIAA-C to attend the < on Come "Rel The Sp the best way to receive reti the newest TIAA-CREF fli how TIAA-CREF can mar current institution; and if you have enough money When: Come "Building how to make your TIAA-C if you are taking advantage how inflation will impact > When: 1 A1 Tli 13 | To make a reserva 1 800 842-2733, ext.: * s si Ei T1AA ("KEF Indtulml and ltwmm.rn.il knixv Ik dwnhm\(.'KEF uftrfkJo jnd intifiM. in ihi TIAA RrJ E ss established the United Sta lay iem dous memory of the Holocaust to light a candle for those who were not as lucky as themselves. Couples walked solemnly, and tears were shed as the congregation of mixed faiths and races equally shared in the survivors' gestures. "Fifty-four years after the end of World War II, let us proclaim to the world that we have not forgotten our six million." said Rabbi Philip Silverstein, of the Beth Shalom synagogue. "As the world sits by through the current genocide in the Balkans, let us all remember this Holocaust and prevent another from happening." The state of Israel, which was founded in 1948 by native "Sabras," Zionist settlers of Palestine, and thousands of survivors, was also a topic nf tVio ovpni'ncr vrx wiv vx T Remembering what was born out of the ashes as a new nation, Silverstein praised the efforts of the various Israeli and American Jewish groups and their denunciation of the actions of Slobodon Milosevic. "We must not let another Holocaust befall us," Silverstein said. "It is the responsibility of the Jewish people of the world to remember our Holocaust and never allow it to happen again." vuinq atp jo fijojs 3|qn|*iu REF cordially invil Columbia Commur April 28 & 29,199 join us for a seminar enti irement Income Option i n * n n x ^ending side oj Ketirem and discover: rement income; exibilities available to you for dra lage your retirement savings even to retire.

Shofars date back to the times of King David and are traditionally blown at occasions of remembrance. Felix Goldberg was introduced by his son Karl as a Holocaust survivor. His melodic blowing of the Shofar was a cry from the past as a symbol of those whose cries went unheard and voices silenced by the gas and brutality that befell them nearly 60 years ago. The sound emitted from the ram's horn was as choked up as the reading of the Kaddish, the Hebrew prayer for the deceased, by USC professor and Tree of Life Congregation Rabbi Sanford Marcus. The Kaddish was sung, and the congregation solemnly prepared to leave the synagogue. Marcus made the closing remarks brief and thoughtful. "In this hour of memory," he said. "We must remember that human dignity sank to its lowest depth at this time. May we make a commitment to strive for peace and happiness for the future generations and for the world never to forget those whose memory we are memorializing today." u r $i ti pue uScjimj funiip?t mi tes you litv Seminar 9 tied is: ent" wing retirement income; after you leave your p.m. p.m. tied *tfolio" id 1 p.m. p.m. tars, please call ing our website at rCRFF i#d Tilt Rd E?c li.Him [Hinpntwo fvJ llvm untuHi fvim vin imrM .* vnd mmcr y/ tc. mecock nd mandated it to lead the nation in tivit commemoral . ^|ppiir- ^ Sks%js? 41* ^J9 ; \ \ Photos cou Top: Nobel Prize-winning poet Elie Wiesel is among the survivoi centration camp in 1945.
