Cutting straight to the point

Unto every person there is a name

Tonight, for the second year in a row, I’m taking part in my synagogue’s annual effort to help B’nai B’rith remember the names of the six million murdered in the Holocaust.

On this day in 2006, the president of Iran called once again for the destruction of the Jews. The world may stay silent on him, but this time, the Jews will have something to say on their own behalf.

The Jerusalem Post gives us the story of six survivors of what the Iranians call the “mythical” Holocaust. Read their stories.

Tonight, I will read out loud the names of some of those who did not survive, and we will chant the Mourner’s Kaddish.

The world may forget, but we never will.
