Dear Jeanette, I read your account of your visit to Majdanek. It brought back memories of my visit to Auswitch and Bergen Belsen several years ago. I heard a group of Israeli teenagers singing hatikvah as they were holding the Israeli flag. The tears began flowing down my face as I left my group, asked the teenagers if I could hold the flag and led a chant of am yisroel chai. Your words are a treasure. Sadly the world hasnt changed much and anti-semitism continues to thrive.
Never Again

Dear Ms. Friedmann,
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
