Monday evening members from 3 different congregations gathered for an evening program sponsored by the Jewish Federation of Arkansas and the 3 Jewish places of worship with an observance of Lives Lost and Voices of the Second Generation.

Three clergy also led 3 prayers amidst poems, readings and a short presentation of DorsGeneration by the new director of the Federation called The Voices of the Second Generation, Their Objects: Their Stories which she has been working with for the last 2 years.
