Capital District Jewish Holocaust Memorial (CDJHM) serves to memorialize the six million Jews and other victims of the Holocaust and educate the public about the consequences of hatred, brutality, and apathy.
The Capital District Jewish Holocaust Memorial (CDJHM) is working with the State of New York and others to plan a permanent New York State Holocaust Memorial and to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust will never be forgotten and are better understood by the general public and especially students. Our organization is involved in planning New York State’s Holocaust Memorial (NYSHM) which is especially important to do now, when awareness of the Holocaust and the impact of unchecked hate is hitting an all-time low and antisemitism and Holocaust denial is hitting an all-time high. The Memorial will ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust, as well as the remarkable contributions that Holocaust survivors and their descendants have made right here in New York, are better understood and appreciated.
Every dollar donated will help us continue to educate our community about the Holocaust.
With each new generation, the memory of the plight of the victims fades, the stories are forgotten, hate and bigotry rise, and the need for awareness and education increases.
The Memorial will consist of walls arranged in the shape of the Star of David. Visitors will be guided around the six-sided structure, where they will be connected to significant events that occurred during the Holocaust. The six columns represent the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust.
Holocaust Remembrance Day 2025 marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Join us as we reflect on the importance of honoring victims, learning from history, and ensuring future generations never forget the devastating consequences of hatred and apathy.
