Last call for the names of Holocaust survivors in R.I.

Posted

The Sandra Bornstein Holocaust Education Center and the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island are asking the public to provide the names of Holocaust survivors as they prepare for the second round of inscriptions on the Rhode Island Holocaust Memorial.

Both SBHEC and the Alliance are committed to ensuring that the memorial, on the Providence River Walk between the World War I and World War II memorials, represents all of the survivors who came to Rhode Island. Time is running out to gather names and this is the final notice before engraving begins.

They ask that you help them by reaching out to family and friends for names of survivors who settled in Rhode Island but were not included in the first inscription. If you, or anyone you know, can help, please contact SBHEC Executive Director May-Ronny Zeidman at 401-453-7860 or may@bornsteinholocaustcenter.org.
