Harvard Hillel began its commemoration of Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Rememberance Day, last night with a short service and a powerful movie on neo-Nazism.

Over 70 people filled the room for the quiet, simple service which lasted for nearly an hour.

Nathan R. Perl-Rosenthal `04, who organized the event, began by reading some short selections by Jewish thinkers.

He was followed by students who read short passages about the Holocaust, Israel and Judaism by renowned authors including Elie Weisel and Primo Levi.

After each piece, the reader extinguished one of the six candles that were lit to represent the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
