The Jews of Rhodes and Cos: In Memoriam
Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is on April 24, 2025. We repost this sermon by Rabbi Marc D. Angel, originally delivered on July 26, 2014 at Congregation Ezra Bessaroth in Seattle, Washington, when the community marked the 70th anniversary of the deportation of Jews from the islands of Rhodes and Cos, nearly all of whom were murdered in Auschwitz.
