Meet Shelomo Selinger, a Holocaust survivor, artist, and sculptor. 

Born in 1928 in the small Polish town of Szczakowa, Shelomo survived the Chrzanów ghetto, nine concentration camps, and two death marches. He was liberated from Theresienstadt 

in May 1945 when a Jewish military doctor spotted his body on a pile of corpses that was about to be burned. Shelomo was transferred to a hospital where he regained his health, but had no memory for seven years. Following the war, he made his way to Israel, where he fought in the War of Independence, founded a kibbutz, and met and married his future wife, Ruth. 

In 1955, the young couple moved to Paris, where Shelomo attended art school and became a renowned sculptor. He has created numerous monuments around the world, including one at @YadVashem. Erected in 1987, the red granite sculpture, titled “The Unknown Righteous Among the Nations,” stands at the entrance of the Avenue of the Righteous and honors the anonymous rescuers, whose courageous deeds remain unknown.

Cambridge’s Annual Commemoration of the Holocaust

Wednesday, May 3, 2017 • 7:00 to 9:00 PM Temple Beth Shalom, 8 Tremont St., Cambridge

Recalling all who perished during the Holocaust, this year’s program features an evening of music, candle lighting, and remembrance.

Our speaker will be Norwood resident Aron Greenfield, a survivor of the Holocaust who was born in Szczakowa, Poland in 1926, and survived nine camps. After being liberated at the end of World War II, he spent time in a displaced persons camp in Austria before making his way to the United States. Making a new life for himself in Massachusetts, he continues to work, running a shop in Norwood with his wife. He has also made it part of his life’s work to share his story, especially with younger people, schools, colleges, and other venues. Music will be provided by cellist Hsin Hou Sun and the Cambridge Community Chorus. Roma poetry will be shared by Margareta Matache. The program is free, open to all, and wheelchair accessible. It welcomes all communities of Cambridge – including children and adults and people of all faiths and traditions. Temple Beth Shalom is located just off Broadway at 8 Tremont St., between Hampshire St. and Broadway (Tremont St. is one block east of Prospect St., between Central and Inman squares). Limited free parking is available. For more information contact the Cambridge Peace Commission at peace@cambridgema.gov or 617.349.4694 – or visit www.cambridgema.gov/peace.
