The Holocaust Memorial Committee held its annual gathering in Sheepshead Bay.

The committee says remembering the past becomes even more important as hatred and anti-Semitism continues.

One by one, Holocaust survivors told their emotional stories of strength and resilience.

The event was held at the Holocaust Memorial Park, which was built as a place where people could come and remember loved ones who died during the Holocaust.

At the end, stones were placed in memory of those lost.
