The Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia hosted their 60th annual Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance ceremony. Voices filled the Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel synagogue in Center City, as members of the community remembered those who lost their lives during the Holocaust."It’s community healing for us. As Jewish people, a lot of our identity is tied up in the fact that we had 6 million people killed.
"It means a lot that I can meet other people in the same situation that I am in," said Spiegel. During the ceremony, speakers recognize not only the past but the present. "Albeit many may think this was a long time ago yet here we are in America where it’s almost seeming as though history is repeating itself," said a speaker at the podium.
