Thoughts about the Holocaust, on Holocaust Remembrance Day - The Jefferson Exchange

Listen to the show
Some anniversaries are celebrated, while others are observed so that the events they commemorate will not be repeated.
Today (January 27th) is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, set on the date of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945.
Nazi Germany murdered up to a third of the world's Jews in the Holocaust, and much has changed in the world since that time. Or has it? The marchers in Charlottesville in 2017 chanted "Jews will not replace us."
We observe the date with two Rogue Valley residents: Irving Lubliner, who wrote a book, Only Hope, about his mother surviving the Holocaust, and Rabbi David Zaslow, who leads the Havurah Shir Hadash synagogue.

"Reviving a Mother's Story," an interview in a series of 2nd-generation Holocaust survivors

“With shattered dreams, interrupted educations, no homes or family to which they might someday return, and a horrifying day-to-day existence, they could not make plans for their futures. They could only hope.”
This quote, from Irving Lubliner’s Foreword to a collection of essays and stories his mother left behind when she died and which he organized chronologically and published, reaches across generations to not only inform people of the horrors of concentration camps but to inspire them to make the most of the time they have with the elders in their families. Discovering these writings, Irving was shocked to see how beautifully his mother wrote, and to actually learn of what she experienced, which she never seemed able to discuss with him.
