2025 Holocaust Remembrance Day Commemoration

In partnership with The Phoenix Symphony, the Phoenix Holocaust Association (PHA) will host its annual community-wide Yom HaShoah Commemoration. The PHA Commemoration will include a procession of local Holocaust survivors, a candle-lighting ceremony to remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, a keynote address by a local dignitary, remarks by a survivor, an invocation by a local rabbi, music, and prayers. The music will include a work by Gideon Klein, composed just days before his transport from TerezĂ­n to Auschwitz. Prior to the Commemoration, the Phoenix Symphony will perform Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Hindemith’s Symphonic Metamorphosis at 2:00 PM then followed by the Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration. Free.
