Shalom my dear San Diegans. Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is observed one week after the conclusion of Pesach and significantly, it is also halfway between the first day of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising (which started on the first day
of Passover in 1943) and Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s Independence Day. This date, chosen by the Israeli government, emphasizes the nature of Jewish opposition to horrific aggression and oppression. It is a solemn day that is widely observed wherever Jews live. In honor of this intention, I’ve devoted this “What Jewish History Forgot” column to three celebrities who may surprise you with their unsung achievements.
