JCC in Scranton observes Yom Hashoah

Around the world, Jewish people are marking Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day.

SCRANTON, Pa. — The JCC of Scranton held an event Monday featuring speaker David Fish, a child of Holocaust survivors.

Folks say sharing these stories will help make sure something like the Holocaust doesn't happen again.

"Survivors are starting to pass. It's important that these stories are passed on to generations so that the stories can continue to be told as a way to educate and as a way to combat anti-semitism," said Dan Cardonick, CEO of the JCC of Scranton.

It's estimated that 6 million Jewish men, women, and children were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust.
