The Capital District Jewish Holocaust Memorial (CDJHM) mourns the passing of our founder, mentor, and friend, Dr. Michael Lozman. To honor his memory, the Capital District Jewish Holocaust Memorial is accepting donations in Dr. Lozman’s name. Your contribution will help continue his lifelong work of promoting Holocaust education and preserving history for future generations. Please scroll down on this page to donate. Thank you.
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.
With the passing of time, the Holocaust is fading from the memory of the American public. Today, almost half of all Americans do not know what Auschwitz was and cannot name a single concentration camp or ghetto, despite over 40,000 existing.
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.
We are here to preserve this memory.
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.
