The Jewish Community of the OBX and the Unitarian Universalist Community of the OBX held a joint Yom Hashoah Memorial Service on Friday, May 3, 2024 commemorating those killed by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
Besides reading the names of those who perished, the JCOB sponsored an essay contest. This year, JCOB received 30 essays from middle and high school students in Dare and Tyrrell counties.
The first place winner in Tyrrell County was G. Sarde Howell (ninth grade homeschool), with Mariah Spencer (ninth grade Columbia High School) in second place. Columbia Middle School winners were Samuel Webster and Irie Jackson (not present at the awards ceremony). Each received a monetary award.
In the essay, students were asked to discuss any similar risk factors and warning signs of existing genocide anywhere in today’s world.
