Three generations from the survivor community gathered with middle and high school students and teachers from elementary, middle, and high schools.

Both Finder and Janison are children of Holocaust survivors. Ray Fiol lit candles on behalf of the approximately six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and a 7th candle to represent the non-Jewish victims of Nazi atrocity.
