COMMUNITY HOLOCAUST COMMEMORATION
MAY 7, 2019 - American Lutheran Church 7:15- 9:00PM
This year our interfaith commemoration and program will feature Holocaust Survivor, Joseph Alexander. He will speak about his experiences surviving twelve Nazi concentration camps. This is a rare opportunity to hear firsthand, the memories and vivid descriptions of the horrific conditions in the concentration camps. All are invited and encouraged to listen to his extraordinary story of courage, perseverance and hope.

About Us
How We're Helping
Founded in 1958, as a community based organization, the Burbank Human Relations Council seeks to eliminate barriers that separate people from each other and build bridges of understanding. BHRC has continued to serve the Burbank community as a resource, and for advocacy. We promote equality and understanding through education and action. We are not funded by the city, or any other entity. We are an all-volunteer, fully independent organization.
GOALS:
- To create an attitude and environment that is open and accepting of every person without regard to race, religion, ethnicity, gender, disability, sexual orientation, or age.
- To promote understanding and cooperation among the diverse groups that compose our community.
- To study and seek ways to moderate or eliminate intergroup tension.
