The International Holocaust Commemoration Remembrance Day Jan 19th!
Season 1, Episode 3229, Jan 10, 2020, 06:58 PM
Sunday January 19th at 3pm.
The International Diplomatic Corps of Florida [www.idcfl.org] proudly announces and invites all residents in the Tampa Bay Area to the 8th Annual International Holocaust Remembrance Day to be held on January 19, 2020 at 3:00PM. This is a free event for the Tampa Bay Community held as a result of United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/7.
Scheduled Speakers include St. Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman, Israeli Deputy Consul Ms. Kasa Harbor, Dr. Joseph Smiley, Dean of Social/Behavioral Sciences & Human Services, St. Petersburg College, and Holocaust Survivor and Founding Member of the Florida Holocaust Museum, Ms. Toni Rinde.
In 2005, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously passed UN Resolution 60/7 designating January 27th as an International Day of Remembrance. The Resolution rejects Holocaust denial and encourages countries to develop educational programs about the horrors of genocide; it also condemns religious intolerance, incitement, harassment, or violence based on ethnic origin or religious belief.
This event is free to the community; although the favor of an RSVP is encouraged as we do not accommodate walk-ins, for security reasons. Historically the Annual Commemoration has been held at the Italian Club in Ybor City. To make the event more readily accessible to the entire Tampa Bay Area community, the venue has changed and will be held at Pinellas Technical College, St. Petersburg Campus @ 3548 11th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, Florida 33711.
To receive a personal invitation, please contact Jana Behar Melamut, Director, Holocaust Commemoration jmelamut@idcfl.org #holocaust #holocaustrememberance #StPeteFL #StPete
