Gov. Joe Frank Harris (at lectern) swears in members of the new State Holocaust Commission.
Harris establishes commission
to boost Holocaust awareness
The civic observance of Yom
Hashoa brought to a close a week-
long series of events marking the
annual remembrance of the Holo
caust in Atlanta.
A highlight of the observance at
the State Capitol this year was the
proclamation of an executive order
by Georgia Gov. Joe Frank Harris,
establishing a State Holocaust
Commission, consisting of Jewish
and non-Jewish businessmen, clergy,
concentration camp liberators,
educators, survivors of the Holo
caust and government officials. The
commission will heighten aware
ness of the lessons of the Holocaust
by encouraging observances of Yotn
Hashoa in cities throughout the
state, and pursuing new avenues of
education statewide.
The Holocaust remembrance also
included a musical presentation by
the Hebrew' Academy Chorale,
memorial candle lighting service
with remarks by L.t. Gov. Zell
Miller, a memorial prayer by Can
tor Isaac Goodfriend, who is a
member of the U.S. Holocaust
Memorial Commission, and re
marks by Elliott Cohen, chairman
of the Zachor Committee of the
Atlanta Jewish Federation. The
invocation was delivered by Rabbi
Alvin Sugarman of The Temple,
and the benediction by Dr. James
H. Coster., president of the Inter
denominational Theological Center.
State Rep. Cathey W. Steinberg
presided over the civic observance,
which was well attended by survi
vors, children of survivors, libera
tors, government officials and Jew
ish and non-Jewish citizens.
