Yom Hashoah 2026

“Tonight, Pretoria and Johannesburg stand shoulder to shoulder, and in doing so, we honour the six million who perished and the survivors who taught us that our strength lies in one another. Let this evening not be an ending, but a beginning. Let us build upon this unity: community to community, family to family, generation to generation” - Gary Nowosenitz SAJBD Pretoria Chair at Yom Hashoah Ceremony 2026

Thank you to the over 1000 Jewish communal members who joined us last night to commemorate the 6 million lives lost.

Together we united. Together we stood. Together we will endure. 🕯️🕯️
