When I was in high school, I studied German and in 2007 I went to Germany with the German Club. We went to Dachau and every year I always write about not only what I learned from that trip, but literature and music from the time period. Never forget and never again!
I took some photos and made memorial scrapbook pages. I would like to visit Germany again and I would like to visit Poland. We should never forget and we should share these stories so they will never happen again.
A few years ago, there were local job ads looking for writers who could converse in either German, Yiddish, or Hebrew, and interview survivors, then turn their stories into books. I was so nervous that I didn't apply. I'm thinking once COVID-19 is over, I might see what I can do on a part-time basis. Their stories need to be preserved and remembered!
International Holocaust Day is observed on January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, which has become the symbol of the evils of the Holocaust. It was a place of unbridled inhumanity and brutality. Yet, Auschwitz does not tell the entire story of the Holocaust.
Not all the victims of the Holocaust were herded into cattle trucks, to gas chambers at concentration camps like Auschwitz. There are many other stories to be told and we are duty-bound to tell them.
None more so than the estimated 1.5 million Jews who were murdered in mass shootings across Eastern Europe. For too long, this ‘Holocaust by bullets’ has been largely unknown.
Before the construction of Auschwitz and other concentration camps, as the Nazis invaded the Soviet Union, entire Jewish communities were rounded up, marched to their deaths and dumped in mass graves. The locations where these crimes were perpetrated usually remain unmarked, unlike the remains of the Nazi concentration camps.
That's right and many also died in the ghettos. I don't know if anyone has ever watched Finding Your Roots, but Nina Totenberg was on Tuesday night. One of her relatives died in a Warsaw ghetto.
Many also died in the Anschluss and the Kristallnacht. Never forget and never again!

If you are still nervous, there is a crowd sourcing initiative where you can help copy records from scanned images of documents from the concentration camps into a database.

Painter and artist Leo Neufeld who is Jewish describes a set of portraits he painted, "I traveled to my hometown of Milwaukee, WI, to paint portraits of Holocaust survivors. This is my heritage and these are the people I grew up with. Both of my parents were each in 6 concentration camps and survived the Holocaust. The people I painted are the “Greenah”, a term which refers to the newcomers to the United States. I was sponsored by the Coalition for Jewish Learning, which is the umbrella organization for the Holocaust Education and Resource Center of Milwaukee. I spent four weeks during the Fall of 2004 in the community, and painted 11 oil portraits from life. These portraits became the property of the HERC. This project is a continuation of the portraits I painted of my parents, who are both gone, and I feel an urgency to document the remaining survivors, as each year there are fewer."
here is link to the paintings, and a group photograph of the people holding their portraits, and also the artist in front

8 April, 2021 on my calendar is Holocaust Remembrance Day.
2018, February was at Yad Varied (the Museum) Surrounding the museum were the Trees of Righteousness. Trees of families who aided the Jewish people. Ezekiel 38:14 was engraved on a pillar? I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I am the L-D have spoken, and I have done it, declares the L-D.
My maternal grandmother was married to a Jewish gentleman, when bonds were being purchased for the country of Israel.
Lesson to remember, love ALL people. Deuteronomy 6:4-5; Leviticus 19:18.
