It seems, in the history of Jews there is nothing casual. Likely, not casually that they so close, these two dates meaning so much for each Jew - a holiday of our pride and the Day of our grief, Independence Day of Israel and Day of Holocaust. We came to our Hesed to remember ndependence of the state Israel and for Memory of victims of the Holocaust. To each significant date Marina Topolnitsky makes posters and stands. The today's stand "Holiday with tears in the face" is laconic and sad.

Arina Ruban has told about long and difficult way of Jews to creation of the state. For Arina it not simply words: she has lived in Israel for some years. The thorny road was to the Independence Day, and one of most tragical pages is the Second World War. There are now Jew whom the terrible hand of Holocaust hadn’t touched. Tatyana Beljakova tells about fight for Moscow in which her grandfather took part. The veteran of the Great Patriotic War Roza Bar remembered arrival of fascists to Odessa. Galina Valitsky tells about her husband who had worked on the evacuated Voronezh munitions factory.

In her ten years Dasha Spitsyna knows the history of her family. She tells of her grandmother running in 1939 from Poland to Ukraine. The big brother of her grandmother, Alexander together with other Jews was forced by the fascist to dig a big hole. The seventeen-year boy understood that they were diging a tomb for themselves...

The invisible thread connects all generations and memory about Holocaust won’t die. Low bow by that who has survived in this terrible war! Light memory that who will not return.
