Yom HaShoah 60th Community-Wide Holocaust Commemoration ⏺️
2025-04-27 11:00 | Greenwood Cemetery, 1173 Cascade Circle SW, Atlanta, GA, 30311
Join us rain or shine at the Memorial to the Six Million at Greenwood Cemetery as we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and the heroism of survivors and rescuers.
This year is the 60th anniversary of Atlanta's Memorial to the Six Million. Since its construction was completed in 1965, it has been a holy place where human ashes from Dachau and bars of soap from Jewish bodies are interred for eternity. It is a place for all to say Kaddish (mourner's prayer) and lay a stone on the tomb or for survivors and their descendants to place a flower on their loved ones' Yahrzeit (memorial) plaques inside the Memorial. As we do each year, we will honor our Holocaust survivors in attendance.
This event is free and open to the public and is jointly sponsored by Eternal Life-Hemshech, the William Breman Jewish Heritage Museum, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta.
For more information, please visit the Eternal Life Hemshech website.

How to Make a Home ⏺️
2025-04-27 17:00 - 19:00 | Ahavath Achim Synagogue—Srochi Auditorium, 600 Peachtree Battle Ave. NW, Atlanta, GA, 30327, United States
Join Eden Levine as she co-hosts How to Make a Home, a play by Out of Hand Theater, as part of her Bat Mitzvah project to raise awareness about homelessness in Atlanta.
How to Make a Home, part of Out of Hand Theater's "Shows in Homes" season, is Amina McIntyre's original one-act play, following Antonio, a single father, as he navigates Atlanta's Continuum of Care system to secure stable housing for himself and his ten-year-old daughter. Antonio contends with the frustrations of bureaucratic obstacles and daily life stressors, striving to maintain hope while providing for his child. Through his story, the play offers an emotional insight into the realities of homelessness and highlights available services for those in need.
Enjoy an evening of inspired theater and thought-provoking conversation, and learn ways to take action to create a more equitable world!
Tickets are $33 or $23 for students and seniors.
