Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) on Sunday, April 15 will honor the lives and legacies of those lost, and focus on stories of survival, during the Jewish Community of Greater Stowe’s annual commemoration. The Vermont Holocaust Museum and the Greater Stowe Interfaith Coalition will join JCOGS to present the 2014 Academy Award-winning best documentary short-subject film “The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life,” at 1:30 p.m. followed by a discussion with the film’s executive producer, Frederic Bohbot. In the film Aliza Sommer-Herz, aged 109 and the world’s oldest Holocaust survivor, tells the story of how music saved her life: both during her time at Theresienstadt concentration camp and in the years afterwards. The event at JCOGS (1189 Cape Cod Road in Stowe) is free, accessible and open to the public.
