Daniel Pearl : 1963 - 2002. January 23rd, 2003 is the first anniversary of the kidnapping of Jewish American reporter Daniel Pearl. The Simon Weisenthal Center promises an internet campaign of remembrance until February 20th, the anniversary of his murder.

The weekend of February 21-23rd, the Center is also asking clergy and their congregations to remember Daniel in their services and to forward their sermons on the meaning of his life and death to the Wiesenthal Center, which will be then be forwarded directly to the Pearl family.

On Thursday evening, February 20, 2003, the Center will host a community-wide memorial program at its Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, and on Monday, February 24th at Congregation Beit Tzedek in Toronto, Canada. Dr. Judah Pearl, Daniel’s father, will speak at both events.
