Remembering Our Zeida's and Bubbe's who were murdered Al Kiddush Hashem

teach our children to have real simchas hachayim. to love and feel hashems closeness. that they will pass those on to the next generation. that’s what I daven for my children.

To be proud of being Jewish, just like the people who went to their deaths singing.

To love Hashem even if the going gets tough. (Aish.com put out an amazing video called inoculations. Watch it, its amazing and describes pain!!)

I know someone who moved to Germany to do kiruv, she told her grandmother who had lost her siblings and parents in the war that it was the best revenge. She is bringing Jews back to Torah and having a beautiful Jewish family in the place where Hitler wanted to eradicate Judaism.

I spoke my grandmother last week. A cousin of mine had just had a baby. My grandmother told me that this is now K”H the 42nd grandchild/great-grandchild that she has. She said, “I was the only one of my siblings to survive the war. Imagine if all 7 of us had survived, how large our family would be!”

She also told me once that when she went to visit Yad Vashem, although it was hard for her, she did enjoy one aspect of it. It was known that the Nazis kept meticulous records of everything they did to the Jews. Why? Because Hitler had a dream of building a museum to showcase what the Jews were before he’d wiped them out. My grandmother said, “I went to the museum which showed the Holocaust. It’s run by Jews who are alive and well – and the Third Reich exists only in museums now!”

Agree with Sam. “VoChai Bahem!”

Also agree with Cedarhurst.
