The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Indiana Holiday Commission, the Indiana Civil Rights Commission, and the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council will be hosting the 25th Annual State of Indiana Holocaust Remembrance Program on Thursday, January 25, 2024 from 12:00 pm to 1:30 PM at the Indiana Statehouse North Atrium.

This year’s program is centered around the theme of “L’Dor V’Dor,” which translates to mean “generation to generation”. The program will highlight the importance of passing down stories and history between generations.

There will be remarks given from state leaders and members of the Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council. There will be awards given to community leaders and organizations who have shown a commitment to sharing teachings of the Holocaust in order to inspire others to stand up against hate and bigotry. Awards will also be given to students who have participated in the Hoosier Student Creative Expressions Contest in which students created pieces of art, writing, or music in response to a prompt about the Holocaust. The program will end with a commemorative candle lighting ceremony, musical arrangements, and prayer.
