What will Holocaust Remembrance Day ceremonies be like in the future?
Every year, as Holocaust Remembrance Day approaches, we question whether we should continue with the present format. On the one hand, we realize that the ceremony is now familiar for many people, and, like a ritual, they find this reassuring. On the other hand, we recognize that in the future the focus on personal stories will take a different significance once we cannot facilitate gatherings with survivors. We will need to create a more experiential gathering, whereby the younger audience can participate and identify with the survivors stories and feel closer to the subject of the Holocaust.
