Save the date for the Third Annual Glastonbury Holocaust Remembrance Project event to be hosted this year at a Glastonbury town building on Thursday, April 23, at 7 pm.

This initiative aims to commemorate the Holocaust and build awareness on how hate continues to incite and lead to discrimination, violence and divisiveness. Visit https://ghrp.net for registration (attendance is capped) and event and scholarship details, or contact Elizabeth Berman at ghrpboard@gmail.com with questions. This year’s theme is Righteous among the Nations, highlighting the heroes who went above and beyond to save the Jews. Past events included speakers, music performed by local students, student contest entries and community clergy involvement. First Church continues to be an event sponsor/partner.

There is also a scholarship contest open to all high school students in Glastonbury (entries due by March 14). Entries can use a variety of creative formats and must answer the questions: What actions can YOU take to stop ridicule, stereotyping, indifference, bullying, violence, hatred, and/or discrimination of any kind? How would YOU inspire and involve your peers in YOUR call to action?
