Presented by Holocaust Remembrance Association

Upstanders Arise: Courage Voices and the Stars Gala 2026

About This Event

Join us for an unforgettable evening that explores courage, faith, and the enduring light of remembrance. Upstanders Arise: Courage, Silence, and the Stars will illuminate extraordinary stories of resilience—from the Torah scroll that journeyed into space aboard the Challenger, to the astronaut who honored Shabbat among the stars, to the child of the Holocaust whose drawing of the moon still speaks across generations. Through these remarkable connections between heaven and earth, we reflect on the silence that allowed evil to thrive and the courage that breaks it.
