Remembering: Voices of the Holocaust: A New History in the Words of the Men and Women Who Survived | Lyn Smith

I posted this singing intuitive several years ago but I think now, more than ever it needs repeating. Take two minutes watch the video and see the resilience of a people who will not be broken. The lyrics are so incredibly powerful and more relevant than ever. https://youtu.be/Vuh1-jDi7Qw?si=gOKocULMz6gLdxF2

As many of you know, this past February I traveled with my daughter to Poland to participate in a Jewish heritage trip. We visited many sites and cities where both terrible atrocities took place as did astonishing acts of bravery & courage. This Tuesday marks Holocaust Remembrance Day. JRoots, the company I toured with is offering a full day of testimony and survivors stories live on Facebook. Feel free to log in and participate. #WeRemember

Forgotten Voices of The Holocaust: A new history in the words of the men and women who survived | Lyn Smith

The Holocaust has always been something I've felt close to. My family were Lithuanian Jews that luckily escaped and kept our heritage secret. I only found out when I was 19 (8yrs ago), when a great uncle of mine was on his deathbed. I am still trying to find out more about my family. In a month I'm visiting Dachau. As morbid as it seems, I am really looking forward to this. This book is an amazing and enthralling read. Highly recommend.

I am making my way through this book. It is eye opening, lovely, and horrible all at the same time. It is a difficult read, but well worth it. The format of broken up stories makes everything that much more impactful.
