Atlantic City will light up yellow Monday evening as part of a partnership between the Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton University and the Casino Association of New Jersey.
Five of the city’s nine casinos — Caesars Atlantic City, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Atlantic City, Resorts Atlantic City, Ocean Casino Resort and Tropicana Atlantic City — will change their outside lighting to yellow at 6 p.m. as part of Holocaust Remembrance Day, a nationwide awareness campaign that includes the New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education.
Yellow was the color of the Star of David badges the Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Holocaust. Several other national locations — including the Empire State Building, Niagara Falls and Philadelphia International Airport — are also taking part in the commemoration.
