Members of the community are invited to attend an observance of Holocaust
Remembrance Day on April 14 at 8 p.m. in Dartmouth 105. Dartmouth College Hillel will host
the Yom Hashoah Memorial Program, which will feature a screening of the
documentary film Remembering the Jews of Druzhkapol. The film
describes the journey 12 Dartmouth students took to learn the history of the
Jewish community of Druzhkapol, Ukraine, to restore its abandoned and neglected
Jewish cemetery, and to dedicate a memorial on the site where all 900 of its
Jewish inhabitants were murdered on Sept. 19, 1942.
Zoe Dmitrovsky '09, Alex Consky '07, Avnish Gungadurdoss '09, Lense
Gebre-Mariam '09, and Jennifer Auerbach Rodriguez '09—some of the students who
participated in the trip—will reflect on their experiences in a panel
discussion moderated by Rabbi Edward F. Boraz. A memorial candle-lighting
service will conclude the evening.
