While I arrived to Boro Park form Hungary at an age 18, my journey through Judaism apparently landed me at a similar place to yours.
For me Yom Hashoah will always be Tisha B’Av, grown from the childhood memory of barely a minyan of men sitting on overturned benches in a synagogue built for 1500, empty, with broken windows, reciting the Kinot.
Fasting on Tisha B’Av,
Laszlo Berkovits
