connection to centuries of Jewish life, resilience, and tradition.

Holocaust Remembrance Day: Remembering the Names, the Lives, and the Silence
Holocaust Remembrance Day is not marked by celebration or spectacle. It is a day of pause — a moment set aside to remember
six million Jewish men, women, and children whose lives were destroyed, and to reflect on what remains when voices are silenced
and entire worlds erased.
In Prague, remembrance carries particular weight. The city’s synagogues, cemetery, and memorial spaces bear witness to
centuries of Jewish life — and to the devastating rupture caused by the Holocaust. To remember here is not abstract; it
is rooted in names, places, and absence.
