Carmel invites public to join Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony

Carmel invites the community to the annual Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony at noon on Friday, April 24 at the Tarkington Theater. It is free and open to the public.

Also at this year’s ceremony, filmmaker, composer and Hoosier Ashton Gleckman will deliver special remarks and share a trailer for his film, We Shall Not Die Now.
