Please join with other Washington D.C.-area university students in commemorating the Days of Remembrance at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. 

Created especially for university students, this special observance will honor those who were victims of the Holocaust and highlight how memory of the Holocaust can be used to shape a more humane future. 

The program includes presentations by:

• Nesse Godin – a Holocaust Survivor, sharing the story of a childhood in Lithuania, turned into nightmare by the Holocaust, and what it took to survive a ghetto, concentration and labor camps, and a death march.
• Claire Simmons – born in a refugee camp after the Holocaust, speaking about the importance of passing on the legacy of the Holocaust to future generations.
• Jerry Fowler – Staff Director of the Museum's Committee on Conscience, advocating honoring the memory of the Holocaust through drawing attention to the genocide currently occurring in the Darfur region of Sudan and issuing calls for action.

The program at the Museum will be followed by a memorial candle lighting in the Hall of Remembrance.   Students will be provided passes for the Museum's Permanent Exhibition which can be used at any time throughout 2005.
