Jerusalem Post 2022: "Part of what makes this commemoration special is that it showcases speakers from diverse backgrounds and provides education on often-omitted Sephardic and Romaniote narratives of the Holocaust, as opposed to focusing solely on Ashkenazi ones...It was also encouraging to see people from diverse backgrounds in the US and across the world come together to stand with Jewish communities against antisemitism, and to share and apply the message of “Never Again.”"
