Holocaust Remembrance 2025

The Town of Concord’s Annual Holocaust Remembrance, co-sponsored by the Concord-Carlisle Human Rights Council, will take place on Sunday, May 4 at 7:00 PM at the Concord Town House. The event will also be accessible via a livestream provided by Minutemn Media Network for those not able to attend in person.   

We are honored to have Janet Singer Applefield as our speaker this year. Her new memoir, Becoming Janet: Finding Myself in the Holocaust, is an account of her survival of the Nazi occupation as a 4-year old, separated from her parents. Over the past 40 years, she has presented her story at hundreds of venues including the Massachusetts State House, Harvard University, Westminster Synagogue in London, and countless schools through her work with Facing History and Ourselves. We will have signed copies of Janet’s book available to purchase.

The event is free and open to the public.

The event will also be recorded and available for viewing on our website, cchumanrights.org.
