Show up for 'the 570' to celebrate Northeast Pa.

Today, 570Day, celebrates six years of showing up.

The primary area code for Northeast Pennsylvania is 570. As a way to celebrate the region, the Rotary Club of Wilkes-Barre in 2020 began 570Day on May 7 — or 5/7.

This week, 1,400 students from around the region are hearing the stories of Holocaust survivors. Some of those stories are told by the survivors themselves — but 80 years after the end of World War II, most of those stories are told from video, or the second or third generation.
