Eliana Benador: Jewish Communities mark Holocaust Remembrance Day throughout the world
The Israelite Community of Geneva, Communauté Israélite de Genève (CIG), headed by the Grand Rabbi of Geneva, Isaac Dayan, of Moroccan origin, had a very interesting program unifying the community on this occasion. Holocaust survivor, Henri-Borland, saved when he was barely a teenager, shared his story this time with young Jewish students. The CIG was once headed by another Holocaust survivor, the late Henri Milsztajn. It is at Moissac Orphans’ Children’s Home, in France, that Milsztajn met his friend for life, Elie Wiesel, after both were rescued.
