International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026

Join JFCS for a powerful and timely virtual conversation to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Award-winning author Elizabeth Rosner, whose acclaimed book Survivor Café explores memory and intergenerational trauma, will be joined by her nephew Ezra Brettler, a third-generation descendant and speaker with the JFCS William J. Lowenberg Speakers Bureau. Together, they will share personal reflections on how their family carries forward the memory, legacy, and lessons of the Holocaust—and why these stories matter deeply for our lives today and for generations to come.

This meaningful online program invites us to pause, remember, and engage in thoughtful dialogue about remembrance, responsibility, and the enduring power of memory. It’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.

This Program is presented in partnership with: American Jewish Committee, Consulate General of Israel, Consulate General of Germany, Consulate of Cyprus, and is supported by our community partners: the Anti-Defamation League, Congregation Beth Jacob, Congregation Beth Sholom, Congregation Chevra Thilim, The Contemporary Jewish Museum, JCCSF, JCRC Bay Area, Jewish Community Library, Jewish Federation Bay Area, JIMENA: Jews Indigenous to the Middle East and North Africa, Manny’s, Repair the World, and StandWithUs Northern California.
