The street co-naming ceremony for Yad Vashem Way in Manhattan's Upper East Side took place on January 30, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation. This event, attended by community leaders and Holocaust survivors, underscores the significance of honoring Holocaust victims and the ongoing fight against antisemitism. Rabbi Arthur Schneier, a survivor himself, poignantly recalled the atrocities experienced by his family and urged the importance of remembrance to prevent future occurrences of hate and violence.
The street sign serves as a reminder of the atrocities committed against the Jewish people and encourages to stand up against hatred and antisemitism.
Rabbi Schneier, whose grandparents died in Auschwitz, emphasized the necessity of remembrance, stating, 'We must never forget, because it can happen again.'
