Yom Hashoah commemoration

The JCCV is proud to host of the annual Victorian Yom Hashoah commemoration. This commemoration provides the Victorian Jewish community with a chance to come together to remember the six million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust and pay tribute to the strength of survivors. Many of these survivors came to Melbourne and contributed in immeasurable ways to building and sustaining the Victorian Jewish community.
