LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – Holocaust survivor Fred Amram will speak Thursday during the La Crosse Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony.
The virtual event will also include a member of the the La Crosse Symphony Orchestra playing selections from the movie ‘Schindler’s List.’
“The lessons of the Shoah, as we like to call the Holocaust, are more important ever so that we can understand what happened then. And what we can do now to provide our democracy, to preserve freedom and to preserve respect for all individuals,” said Robert Freedland of the Maureen and Robert Freedland Community Fund for Studies of the Shoah (Holocaust).
In the wake of vandalism by a white supremacist group at an LGBT center in Reading, Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT in Allentown received a grant to improve its security to guard against hate crimes.

Robison Oil trucks, with their familiar RobiDog mascot, are a ubiquitous sight on roadways throughout Westchester and Putnam counties. Now celebrating its 100th anniversary, Robison has come a long way since first opening up in 1921 as a family-run business with a gas station and auto parts store in Hartsdale.
The Singer family, owners of Original Oil since 1928, bought Robison in 1984, and today the company has 200 employees and over 20,000 clients. Robison prides itself in a wide range of services, from supplying natural gas and electricity to delivering clean-burning biofuel. It also services and installs all types of heating and air conditioning products, offers 24/7 plumbing services, and solves indoor air quality issues.
Read what PPS writes:
In spite of the pandemic and dire economic challenges, Providence is experiencing a building boom with construction activity continuing through lockdowns and pauses. Protection of historic buildings exists in this old American city through seven local historic districts containing approximately 2500 properties– though PPS advocates for far more designation. The city’s historic beauty continues to draw newcomers from bigger and more expensive places who appreciate the quality of life and architecture that Providence offers.
Why, then, would a member of the community nominate the city of Providence to the Most Endangered Properties list? In a sentence: we are a river city in the Ocean State, and the impacts of climate change and sea level rise will affect Providence’s built and cultural heritage in both incremental and profound ways.
