Reply To: What Will Become Of All The Memories?

My R”Y once told a story about someone who medically died and was resuscitated. The man was the child of Holocaust survivors. He said that he’d had an experience where he was in a hallway, being escorted by a malach to his din v’cheshbon. He asked the malach what happens to survivors in the next world. The malach replied, “They wear their yellow stars and the numbers on their arms. These repel the prosecutors in the beis din, and nothing can be said against them. With nothing against them, they are allowed straight into Olam Habah, and wear these badges with pride!”

I don’t know if the story is true or not, but it has a nice message, so I relayed it to my grandmother. her reaction surprised me. She said, “No! I never want to see that yellow star again, even in Shamayim!”

AOM, you are correct. We can’t understand what they went through.
