Letter from Herbert Willig about Invitation to Speak at Yom Hashoah Memorial (1972)
Dear Rabbi Lamm: On Monday evening, April 10th, the 27th day of Nisan, we are planning to observe our 9th Annual Memorial for the Six Million Kedoshim. A stirring program is being arranged in observation of this date proclaimed by the Knesset as the Memorial Day dedicated to our fallen brethren. More than 50 synagogues and organizations co-sponsoring the memorial assembly are united in their determination that the memory of the Holocaust and its significance should be forever inscribed in the hearts of all Jews. We would be greatly honored if you would consent to be the guest speaker at this significant evening which will be attended, please G-d by close to a thousand people. Mr. Victor Geller, a member of our committee will call you to arrange for an appointment at which time we will be able to give you further information regarding this memorial meeting.Respectfully yours, Herbert Willig Chairman Yom Hashoa Committee
