Sunday, April

Every year at the Annual Gathering of Remembrance, the Museum brings
thousands together to say with one collective voice: we will never
forget. This Yom HaShoah tribute has power that echoes across
generations. Speakers at this year's virtual presentation will include
UN

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Musical performances
will be provided by HaZamir: The International Jewish Teen Choir, Cantor Joseph
Malovany, Zalmen Mlotek, Steven Skybell, Valeriya Sholokhova, and
others.
We
hope you will consider supporting this year's event by registering and
