Yom Hashoah

Today is Yom Hashoah, the day of commemoration of the holocaust.


Just wanted to share a story about my grandfather who was a survivor. He was taken onto a train to be taken to the gas chamber but jumped off..he said what he heard was the scariest thing he ever heard. The Nazi guard saying to another guard that they would get him next time....just so casually. Which really drives the fact that to the Nazis the genocide meant nothing...My grandfather said that memory haunted him for years more than any other

That's amazing about your grandfather!

I sure took some moments to remember yesterday - and did some reading.

Thank you Gryfon to share that story and thank God your Grandfather made it.......................:-)

The stories must never be forgotten
