I was sitting at Y...Carmi, you'll get this one. I was sitting at Yom Hashoah services my temple did during the usual Tuesday night classes, and it dawned on me that we only talk about the victims who died. We don't talk about the fact that the survivors were victims, too -- and that in many ways, dying would have been a blessing rather than having to live out a long life with this always pressing on them. <br /><br />Maybe it's because I've seen first-hand what the legacy from the survivors can be, and how families are screwed up for generations, just because someone survived this horror...<br /><br />I don't know. Maybe you do because you're farther removed from it than I am. All I know is that we only talk about the victims who died, not the victims who survived. <br /><br />And that, yes, never again. No one deserves to be put through this Hell -- the one they lived, and the one that lingers all these years later.Susan Helene Gottfriedhttp://westofmars.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-52435206975578561382012-04-19T00:41:25.361-04:002012-04-19T00:41:25.361-04:00We must never forget, and yet be ever vigilant. Yo...We must never forget, and yet be ever vigilant. You're right, Carmi: it still happens today, all over the world. <br />Let's remember the Holocausts in Europe, in Nigeria, Cambodia, Kurdistan, Bosnia, Rwanda, Congo, Darfur, and all the millions who died because others couldn't celebrate or even tolerate our differences.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder.cactus petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16114194541917210679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-33138908092602539912012-04-18T23:39:22.840-04:002012-04-18T23:39:22.840-04:00We must remember

He compiled hundreds of interviews... My husband's boss as well as their secretary were recorded... I had heard how the secretary witnessed the killing of his children... Jack (boss) and Arthur (secretary) found each other at Ellis Island.. Arthur joined Jack's business.. Jack also made sure his grandchildren knew of his past.. He would take them back to the encampment... The strength he and Arthur have (had) is unbelievable... Arthur and his wife passed years ago and I still remember them... Jack is a widower and he is still playing tennis at the age of 80 something.... I for one don't understand why we would need remembering.. Its ingrained in me... I know it was more so for them.Kalei's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331539743751163269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-88980940241998660932012-04-18T22:17:36.610-04:002012-04-18T22:17:36.610-04:00A great documentary for everyone to try to fathom ...A great documentary for everyone to try to fathom the number is <i>Paper Clips</i>...kids and adults alike should see it, and every time I do, I am moved to tears.<br /><br />I took a photo of my Yom Hashoah candle, and included the words we were given to recite when lighting it.
