February 2020 – newsletter
Hi there,
It has been a moving and historic few weeks as we bring you news of the first ever, official, Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration event in Belarus and one we are proud to say we were officially invited to. We participated in a powerful remembrance concert and heard ghetto survivors speak of their suffering in the very place where they lost so much and yet still live today. We also bring you a story of miracles as we turn an exciting corner in our campaign to remember the lost Jews of Brest-Litovsk. To mark the joy of Tu B’Shevat we bring you a delicious seasonal recipe and as we head towards Pesach we urge you to clear your cupboards for our cause.
All the best,
The Together Plan team
