Holocaust Survivor Prom

This is one party I wish I weren’t missing.
On Thursday evening, 150 Holocaust survivors from across the Toronto region will pin on corsages and don their best suits to celebrate their senior prom.
The idea comes from a similar prom held by the Jewish student group Hillel for survivors living in Hamilton. It’s being organized by Toronto’s Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, which is home to almost 1,000 Holocaust survivors.
There will be a decorated gymnasium, prizes, gifts and live music, and members of Hillel will dance and chat with the survivors.
What an absolutely wonderful idea. I hope they have a great time. They’ve waited long enough.
