Experience Yom Hashoah


The MCC community is encouraged to reflect upon the Holocaust and honor its victims and survivors during the Holocaust Genocide Studies Project's 15th annual Yom Hashoah Commemoration. In addition to our guest speaker’s reflection, the event will include a moving candle lighting ceremony with local survivors of the Holocaust. Please plan to attend:

“Teaching the Next Generation: the son of a perpetrator reflects”
featuring H. Martin Rumscheidt, Ph.D.
Wednesday, May 4
College Hour (noon – 1 pm)
MCC Theater, Building 4
Free and open to the public.

Born in Luena, Germany, Dr. Rumscheidt, became a Canadian citizen in 1957 and was ordained by the United Church of Canada. An educator, author and guest lecturer, Dr. Rumscheidt acknowledges that “the Holocaust occupies my attention in theological reconstruction and the rebuilding of Jewish-Christian relations.” During the Yom Hashoah Commemoration, he will reflect on his relationship with his father, an executive of a large manufacturing company during the Third German Reich, as a catalyst to explore anti-Semitism and the Holocaust.

It promises to be an experience that you will long remember and, perhaps, one that may change your life.
