The 2024 Holocaust Remembrance Day is marked with memorial ceremonies held throughout the country. In April 2023 Maccabi’s first team visited, Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Centre outside Jerusalem and underwent a detailed tour where they heard about the history of the Jewish nation in its’ darkest time.
The team then continued their tour to the Wall of Honor at the Garden of the Righteous Among the Nations where the names of Aniela Dembinska as well as Mikolaj and Helena Sajowski who were instrumental in saving the life of Mitch Goldhar’s mother, Sala Armel Goldhar, from perishing during the Holocaust, are engraved.
Watch the clip covering the visit and the emotional story of Sala’s rescue:
