As anti-Israel protests at American colleges continue, Jews nationwide will take part in a very different looking demonstration on Sunday.
Americans will march to remember the Holocaust. Hundreds of Jews and Israel supporters will gather at Congregation Beth Yeshurun at about 1PM. One of the organizers, Rozalie Jerome, says this year's march (the 13th in Houston) is more poignant due to the violence of the last few weeks.
"I thought I was safe; my family escaped Nazism. Here in my own country we have this new anti-Semitism," Jerome said.
Jerome says it's important for Jews to make their voices heard, and not hide their faith.
"I need them not just to pray quietly, but to come out and pray with your feet," she stated.
People can arrive at the temple by 11:30am to park, with shuttles taking them to the march's starting location.
