Participating Locations In Kentucky

Big Four Bridge – Louisville

Mayor Craig Greenberg posted: Tonight, the Big Four Bridge shines in remembrance of the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Tonight, I'm thinking of my grandparents who were fortunate enough to flee Nazi Germany. Tonight, let's all commit to continue our fight against antisemitism and hatred of all kinds - at home and abroad. Tonight, let's love one another, acknowledge our differences, and ways to support one another as often as we can.

Governor's Mansion

Governor Andy Bashear: We are lighting the Governor's Mansion yellow tonight in recognition of Holocaust Remembrance Day and to honor the six million Jewish men, women and children lost. We must reject hate and work together to create a more kind, loving and just world for all our people.
