International Holocaust Remembrance Day with Risa Daitzman Heywood, President, JGSCO 9:30 am to 12:00 pm Denver Academy of Torah (DAT), 6825 E Alameda Ave, Denver International Holocaust Remembrance Day: Honoring Victims and Remembering Survivors   On this International Holocaust Remembrance Day, learn how to find information about Holocaust victims and survivors.  The search can be challenging because there isn’t one clearinghouse for Holocaust records - the records are scattered among many repositories.  Because the experience of Holocaust victims was not the same in every European country, it’s helpful to know what happened in the place you are researching so that you can focus your search on the correct sites and records.  Examples of research from Germany, Hungary and Belarus will be shown.  The handout will include updated links to the most current Holocaust research sites   This program is free for members and $10 for nonmembers. Nonmembers can buy a  ticket using a credit card at https://squareup.com/store/jewish-genealogical-society-of-colorado (preferred), send a check to JGSCO, or pay at the door.   Please note DAT's policies allow you to bring in drinks such as water or coffee, etc., but outside food cannot be brought onto their premises.   For more details, click on "Programs & Events" on the left side of the page.
