“ As the names of victims are read aloud, they are remembered. “Each year the Reading of the Names seeks to defy indifference and historical revisionism, such as denial that the Holocaust ever happened, by personalizing the individual tragedy of the dead and the survivors,” explains OJMCHE Director Judy Margles. A selection of community members and elected officials will be reading the names of those murdered in the Holocaust. On Thursday, April 28, Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education will sponsor the Reading of the Names at Pioneer Courthouse Square.
