Zikaron BaSalon is a unique multi-generational program that started in Israel in 2010 and has since expanded to more than 60 countries. The first Houston sessions were held in 2017; this year it is sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston and Holocaust Museum Houston. It was launched in response to concerns in the Jewish community that people’s connection to the memories of the Holocaust have deteriorated in recent years. In homes across the greater Houston area, Holocaust survivors, as well as some children and grandchildren of survivors, will share their stories. The year, most sessions will take place Tuesday evening, April 18 at 7 p.m.
Translated from Hebrew as “memories in the living room,” this impactful program offers a meaningful and intimate way to connect to the Holocaust through presentations and discussions, in addition to the community-wide commemoration at Congregation Emanu El on April 16 at 3 p. m.
