Holocaust Remembrance Day

May 1, 2008 on 11:10 pm | In General, Personal, Photography, This and That |

Holocaust Remembrance day…Yom Hashoah…is a holiday that is set aside to remember those who were murdered during the Holocaust, those who survived, and those who fought for survival for themselves and others. This year it takes place on May 2nd.

Why not visit a Holocaust memorial, a cemetery or synagogue, or you might light a candle, recite a prayer or a poem, or read a few pages from an inspirational book, such as a memoir.

Let us not forget all those who died and suffered.

The photograph above was taken by me.

Thank you for stopping by, Charles.

Yes, madness indeed.

We’ll never forget!

(Shouldn’t to remember those who murdered during the Holocaust be to remember those who got murdered during the Holocaust?)

No, never forget.

And, yes, Rene, I made an error. Thank you.
