I have read the 2021 Torch Awards Program Guidelines.
Accounts of the Holocaust
Yom HaShoah / Yellow Candle
Page 1
We partnered with the Accounts of the Holocaust which was founded by my Niece who allowed us to use her content. She brought the Shoah into a modern era by using the social media of today as if it was around then. Since our yellow candle program was disrupted this year this was a great alternative and a change to our normal programming.
By sharing some of the pages from the Accounts of the Holocaust along with our regular reading and an on line candle and other important links, we were able to make an impact in 2020 for Yom HaShoah. The pages were well received and the overall program had positive feedback. My goal was to make this program more current than our normal for the past many years. I wanted an impact for Yom HaShoah and due to Covid, I think we were able to make that happen.
