The theme of Masa’s 2021 Holocaust Remembrance Day is Taking Responsibility for Memory as an Act of Activism. During the week we are offering activities that will allow Fellows to ask complex questions, expand their perspectives, examine the responsibility that lies in memory and in turn, take significant action. Programming will be offered in from April 5-8, 2021.

This year, the theme of the ceremony is “In Their Footsteps,” in recognition of the determination exhibited by new immigrant soldiers who left everything behind and made Aliya in order to enlist in the IDF. We will try to follow the path of those who fell and the unique heritage they have left us. During the ceremony we will relate the story of the fallen, men and women soldiers as well as civilians who died during terrorist attacks, who have paved the way for us and left behind a legacy of values, identity and sacrifice.

Celebrate Israel's Independence Day the Masa way!
