MEMORIAL EVENING

Chairman of the Jewish Antifascist Committee Solomon MICHOELS  On January 16 members of the Open Home met in Hesed Efraim. This program is not new for Kazakhstani Hasadim; it became an integral part of the community life. Members of the Open Home can not part with culture, Tradition, and history of their people.

  Every meeting of the Open Home is a thoroughly prepared and skillfully organized festival. To carry the members away and to inspire them with a desire to learn and create - it is one of the talents of Open Home employees. They try to make every meeting unforgettable. And they do. How? They simply can understand those who come to them. And the ides occur as if by themselves.

The themes discussed in the meetings are not always joyful. This time we decided to look back at the dreadful past of the Jews in the USSR. I, JCC librarian Igor Zhigarlovsky read a report on the subject "50 Days since Execution of the Jewish Antifascist Committee". 13 shot people and those who did not last till execution stood before the members' eyes. "We did not forget you, heroes!"

Igor Zhigarlovsky
