chalice logo Activities: Worship: Yom Hashoah

Last year we did a Yom Hashoah intergenerational service. We read the story "Terrible Things" by Eve Bunting. Each person received a candle with the name of one of the victims on the protective cardboard which they read aloud. We got the names from a web site called Yad Vashem, a Holocaust remembrance organization in Israel, www.yad-vashem.org. Maybe they could give you names for people from Poland. We also tied in the role of the USC during WWII in helping people to escape, www.uusc.org, as well as the origins of the flaming chalice symbol, www.hibbert.org.uk/about/leaflets/flame.html. We then made fresh commitments to help people in similar need today by writing a word or phrase on a small chalice picture we colored and read them aloud. These web sites are about seven months old, so you may have to do some hunting.
