Holocaust Memorial

Temple Emeth: Holocaust Memorial

In 1997, a unique Memorial to the Martyred Six Million was erected on the Temple grounds. This monument, engraved with a map of Europe, lists the hometowns of family members of our community who perished in the Holocaust.

Sugihara Memorial Garden

Temple Emeth: Sugihara Memorial

On April 30, 2000, a monument to Chiune Sugihara was officially dedicated at Temple Emeth.

During the Nazi terror, Sugihara served as Japanese Council to Lithuania. His pen quietly issued thousands of visas to Jews in Kovno to allow them safe passage to Japan.

Sugihara's image is etched on the stone, and a testimonial to his brave deeds is written in English, Hebrew, and Japanese.

Our own Sam Manski, one of those rescued by Sugihara, has been instrumental and central in devising and implementing this and the Holocaust memorials. The Sugihara Memorial committee, composed of Temple Emeth members and the Japanese community of Boston, organizes an annual Sugihara program to honor Sugihara.

Donations are being accepted for support of the Sugihara Memorial Garden at Temple Emeth. For information regarding a donation, please send email to Execdir@TempleEmeth.org.
