Register as a Guest and you will be able to see if there are any Zikaron BaSalon gatherings in your area as well as digital Zikaron BaSalon meetings that are open to the public.
Once you find a gathering to join, you will be able to contact the host for further details.
First, bring yourself with an open heart.
After you contact the host you can suggest preparing something to share with the participants, bringing a musical instrument or offer help with the logistics of the gathering.
Everyone can host a Zikaron BaSalon – in your living room with close friends, in the yard with the neighbours, at your office with your colleagues or on Zoom.
Zikaron BaSalon consists of three parts: a testimony by a person, usually a Holocaust survivor or second-generation (may be written or recorded); an expression part where participants may sing, read, act out, or share something important to them; and an open conversation part on a variety of topics related to the memory of the Holocaust.
Absolutely not. Zikaron BaSalon is an open-source initiative in which people shape their own experiences. The structure of the event and the use of the content we provide are only suggestions to make your Zikaron BaSalon event easier to host and organise.
Yes! A family Zikaron BaSalon, personal and intimate. You can use our family host kit.
In the weeks before Holocaust Memorial Day, training sessions are held in the communities and online.
We at Zikaron BaSalon make great efforts to find Holocaust survivors or second-generation who will come and share their stories in your living room. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee it.
We recommend that you ask your friends, acquaintances and neighbours. Almost everyone has a family story, so why look so far?
We invite you to commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day in the living room, among friends and family, at a gathering of Zikaron BaSalon.
