This first-ever performance is being produced as a tribute to Professor Elie Wiesel, the distinguished author and winner of the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize. At the conclusion of the reading, there will be a candle lighting ceremony to honor the victims of the Holocaust and to mark the seventh night of Hanukkah. The President of the American Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors of Greater Boston, Mr. Israel Arbeiter, Boston City Councilor Mr. Michael P. Ross. and the Consul of Israel in Boston, Mrs. Rony Yedidia, will honor us with their participation. The production will feature survivors from the New England Holocaust Memorial, the Cantata Singers ensemble, and the dance troupe of choreographer Gabrielle Orcha, recipient of the 2006 Boston University Kahn Award.
