2015 Days of Remembrance
On April 13, 2015, Governor Nathan Deal signed a proclamation declaring April 12-19, 2015, as "Days of Remembrance" in Georgia. On behalf of the State, the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust hosted a commemoration ceremony in the State Capitol on April 17. The 2015 theme was "Witness to Liberation: 70 Years Later".
Six candles were lit by Holocaust survivors, liberators, and witnesses in memory of the six million Jews that were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.

Eva Galambos was the first mayor of Sandy Springs. She was elected in early November 2005 and served until November 2013. From 1975-2005, she was the president of the Committee for Sandy Springs which fought to incorporate the city. As mayor, she designed a model public/private partnership for city administration and the delivery of public services that has been recognized worldwide.
Eva was instrumental in bringing the exhibit Anne Frank in the World: 1929-1945 to Sandy Springs and championed the mission of the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust for many years. In May 2013, she was appointed to the Commission's board by House Speaker David Ralston. Click here for more information.
