Hesed "Efraim" Youth club participants held an evening, devoted to a Day of Memory. Evening participants lit candles and told about Holocaust. They told about those, who died in concentration camps and about those who experienced Holocaust and are not alive now.
About those, who could leave recollections about themselves. Frightening recollections …
One cannot describe that horror of Jews, living in death camps. Incomprehensible cruelty, that was in reality in Holocaust. That nightmare is beyond human understanding.
It’s surprising, but there is a place for human courage and honor in that night mare. Thus, for example, words of a testament of Warsaw ghetto detainee Iosif Rakover are worth reading: "I believe, that to be a Jew means to be a soldier, a swimmer, swimming against the human flood, so troubled and criminal". Exactly such feelings were burning in him when Holocaust was inflaming all around.
Youth club members also prepared a stand with photos, brightly illustrating pain of those days.
Holocaust times will stay forever in our memory and heart.
