Candles are set out to be lit as part of a memorial service for Yom Ha’Shoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day. During the ceremony, which was sponsored by Hillel and Students Helping to Organize Awareness of the Holocaust (SHOAH), students lit six candles representing the six million Jews who died during the Holocaust, recited poetry by Holocaust victims and survivors and read a list of Jews killed during the genocide. The candles will burn for 24 hours.
