Irondequoit Historical Society - Holocaust Remembrance with Marcia Birken and Marjorie Searl
We hope that you will join the Irondequoit Historical Society on May 2nd, 2024, as we welcome Marcia Birken and Marjorie Searl. In the spring of 2021, they began a project to recognize and remember the approximately 115 Holocaust survivors who are buried at Mount Hope Cemetery. As co-chairs, they have raised funds to erect a Holocaust Monument, as well as for the creation of a Holocaust Archive on the Friends of Mount Hope (FOMH) website. This multi-faceted project will include updated audio and video file formats, interactive maps of Mount Hope and Britton Road Cemeteries, and a more complete list of survivors who settled in the Rochester area. Marcia and Marjorie’s presentation will focus on their work with this project.
Library programs are open and beneficial to all. We invite people with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to attend any of our activities and will strive to support individual needs. If you need accommodations to participate, please contact one of our Inclusion Coordinators, Matt Krueger and/or Amy Holland, one week prior to the program.
