Holocaust Remembrance Day


Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day. It's one of those times when, I believe, nothing more needs to be said.

I read the post below this morning, and it moved me to tears. It wasn't the tales of horror, but rather what it said about humanity.

I'll also be reflecting a bit more than usual today, and aiming for a touch more silence.

WOW ... so now that you made me cry ... Jack, what a beautiful human being. A few years ago I read "Night" by Elie Wiesel. I don't know how anyone could survive such an unspeakable hell and still have human emotions - kindness, love, hope. AMAZING. My little worries are nothing ... thanks for the link. I needed to read this today.

XOXO

Thank you for sharing Jack's story! In addition to what happened to him during the war, I found the story of he came to America after the war just as fascinating. I shared the story with my FB friends, I hope more people are encouraged to read it. Jack's life will live on in all the people like us who share.
Take care,

Thank you Debbie and Lisa for reading. I think it's important to share these stories... sadly, it's too easy to forget. I know that I for one, do not want to forget.
