Join together as a community to observe Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day and to pay tribute.

April 2023 marks the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising which was the biggest armed act of Jewish resistance during WWII and the first uprising that occurred in a city in occupied Europe. The ceremony will include a candle lighting, music, readings and prayers to commemorate the six million Jews who perished in the Shoah and honor the survivors living in our communities. Among our special guests will be Archbishop Nelson J. Perez, Archdiocese of Philadelphia.

This program is hosted in partnership with the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia, the Philadelphia Holocaust Remembrance Foundation, Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors of Philadelphia, Philadelphia Parks & Recreation and the Holocaust Awareness Museum.

WEEKNIGHTS AT THE WAGNER: Building for Books - Philadelphia’s Libraries

Architectural Historian Michael J. Lewis will trace the roots and development of Philadelphia’s private and public libraries.

The Quakers who founded Philadelphia believed in universal literacy and were great creators of libraries. The first was the Library Company, which Benjamin Franklin helped establish in 1731 and which was America’s first subscription library. But Quakers also believed that knowledge should be useful, and gave their libraries a pragmatic character unlike those of any other American city.
