US SOUTHCOM (United States Southern Command) observed the national “Days of Remembrance” on Wednesday, April 10, in the Conference Center of the Americas at their Miami headquarters.
This was part of the National Holocaust Remembrance week, which is observed April 7-14 and whose theme is “Never Again: Heeding the Warning Signs.”
Rabbi Avrohom Stolik of Chabad in Downtown Coral Gables delivered the invocation at the start of the memorial ceremony.
Present were the top brass of the Southern command of the US military, including General John Kelly, commander of Southcom.
The guest speaker was holocaust survivor Mr. Alex Gross from Bal Harbour, who shared first hand accounts of his survival in the camps.
The event made a deep impression on all who were present and everyone walked away inspired by the memories and survival of the Jewish Nation after such a dark period in Jewish History.
In a conversation with Rabbi Stolik and Shaya Gheblikian following the event, General Kelly expressed interest in strengthening ties with the Jewish community.
