MARQUETTE -- The Marquette Area Interfaith Holocaust Memorial Service will resume its four-decade history after a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic with a service scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at St. Paul Episcopal's Church, 201 E. Ridge St., Marquette.
Temple Beth Sholom, located at 223 Blaker St., diagonally across East Ridge Street from St. Paul's, will host a reception after the service.
The guest speaker will be Peter Simenauer of Coral Gables, Florida. Simenauer was born to Jewish parents in Berlin in 1935, with the family eventually escaping from Nazi Germany when he was 5 years old. After landing in Brazil, Simenauer later emigrated to the U.S. where he has lived since.
The Holocaust Memorial Service will include participants from the Marquette Interfaith Forum, St. Paul's and Temple Beth Sholom. The Marquette Male Chorus, Marquette Senior High School choir and others will present choral pieces.
There is no fee to attend, and everyone is welcome.
