B’nai B’rith International (Atlanta) and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Atlanta are proud to present the “Unto Every Person There is a Name” 2025 Remembrance Ceremony this year, the 36th anniversary of this global Shoah Memorial Initiative.

This public recitation of names of Holocaust victims will be held around the world on Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes Remembrance Day observed this year from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday, April 24. We will gather in person in Atlanta and on Zoom on April 24 for an especially moving Holocaust memorial observance. The in-person program will be held at Feldman Hall in the Selig Center (the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, 1440 Spring St., Atlanta 30309).

Help us to restore the memory of those murdered during the Holocaust by bringing “Unto Every Person There is a Name” to Atlanta through an in-person gathering at Feldman Hall or a Zoom virtual webinar from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., Thursday, April 24, live and virtual at Feldman Hall and from 11 am to 3 p.m. via Zoom. We invite readers and attendees to register in advance: Registration form – https://forms.gle/fzVjDfiryfvPEaC29

Participants read the names of Holocaust victims, along with their own loved ones’ names, where they were murdered, and their age at the time of death. Individuals who wish to participate as readers of the names should indicate this on the online registration form, or contact Harry Lutz, program chair at harry.lutz.45@gmail.com or 678-485- 8179. We will provide lists of names, and you may also read the names of the family members you have lost.

The “Unto Every Person There is a Name” ceremony provides the opportunity to remember the victims of the Holocaust, six million Jews, among them one and a half million children. As the names of victims are read aloud, they are remembered. The annual recitation of the names of victims is one way of posthumously restoring the victims’ names, of commemorating them as individuals. We seek in this manner to honor the memory of the victims, to grapple with the enormity of the murder, and to combat Holocaust denial and distortion.
