It is sad that people are misusing the Holocaust for there own Propaganda means… more sad is that even some jews do it.

Am Israel Chai.

It’s 20 years since I came to Israel but every year, this day breaks my heart, and every year more so. In my work, I have a lot of contact to old people. It’s so sad to see the survivor generation fade away.

Who will keep the memory alive? We all have to do it.

I remember this day as a deeply personal matter, and think of the many uncles, aunts, and cousins that I never had an opportunity to meet, because they were murdered by barbarians, simply for being Jewish.
“Never again” will Jews go timidly to their deaths because no one cared enough to help!

I repeat your salute,
“Am Yisrael Chai. The people of Israel live. Long live the people of Israel.”

I see Norway is included at a sad 55%. But not Spain, Denmark, or Finland, each of which also tactily cooperated with Germany. Any reason for that?

What people have to remember about the Holocaust is not only the numbers or fact it was goaled against the Jews; they have to remember the method- never before was death so perfectly industrialized and so systematically implemented.

And by whom? By the most in lighted and liberal nation in Europe of that time (the only reason why it worked so good. No other nation could have done it better); which means that this can happen anywhere.

This is why we have to remember: so it won’t happen again; IT CAN NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!!! And if Israel and the Jews have to be the beacon (and by doing so attract “flies and other “creatures”) than so be it.

I’m proud of my people, my nation and my country and I pity those who don’t because they don’t know the filling of belonging and they don’t have the courage to change things, they don’t even criticize… To that in the IDF we have a saying: When small people are having a long shadow it means that the sun is going down.

People of the beacon, pay no attention to the flies.

Long live the people of Israel.

I couldn’t agree more. I spent some time at the Holocaust Museum in Israel and all I can say is that people should be forced to review every single image until it’s burned into their collective memories. It’s too easy to be stupid if you don’t know anything about what actually happened.

Long live the people of Israel.
