DESCRIPTION:40th Annual Christian Commemoration of the Shoah at the Anglica
 n Diocese\n\nOrganized by the Christian Jewish Dialogue of Montreal (CJDM)
 \, this event unites Jews\, Christians\, and others to commemorate the six
  million Jews and one million other victims of the Holocaust\, also known 
 as the Shoah (“the annihilation” in Hebrew)\, during World War II.\n	In lig
 ht of increasing intolerance in the world today\, the commemoration begins
  at 2pm with a panel discussion on what's been learned from 40 years of re
 membering the Shoah in Montreal\, and the education and action still very 
 much needed to guard against future genocides.\n	From 4-5 p.m.\, a bilingua
 l commemoration ceremony will be observed during the Choral Evensong servi
 ce at Christ Church Cathedral. Co-presided by Anglican Bishop Mary Irwin G
 ibson and Roman Catholic Bishop Christian Lépine\, the commemoration will 
 include the testimony of Holocaust survivor Ilona Flutsztejn-Gruda\, as we
 ll as a candle lighting ceremony led by the Very Rev. Bertrand Olivier and
  Rabbi Sherril Gilbert in remembrance of all the victims of the Shoah. Son
 gs and music will be performed by Jewish Cantor Heather Batchelor and the 
 Christ Church Cathedral choir and musicians. Light kosher refreshments wil
 l be served following the commemoration.\n\nYom Hashoah (“the Day of the S
 hoah”) was established in 1951 by the Knesset (Parliament of Israel). In M
 ontreal\, the first Christian Commemoration of the Shoah took place at Chr
 ist Church Cathedral in 1979. Since then\, different Christian churches ha
 ve engaged with members of the Jewish community in a shared act of remembr
 ance on the Sunday closest to Yom Hashoah. In 1999\, the National Assembly
  officially recognized the observance of Yom Hashoah and invited Quebec ci
 tizens to share in the memories and mourning of the Jewish community and t
 o ponder the lessons learned from the Shoah.\n	Registration requested on Ev
 entbrite.\n	May 5th Event schedule:\n	2:00-3:30 PM (doors open at 1:30): Pan
