Holocaust Remembrance Day
BU observes Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, every year with a daylong reading on Marsh Plaza of the names of some of the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. The first commemoration was held in Israel in 1949, the first official one in 1951, and Holocaust Remembrance Day is now observed around the world. Among the BU community members reading names on April 8 was Olivia Ritter (COM'21). Photo by Jackie Ricciardi
