So, after reading the "Should Hitler go to hell" thread, as well as reading the news from the past few months, and hearing about all these Holocaust deniers holding conferences, especially the one in Iran, attended by Nuterei Karta, a group of people who are supposedly Ultra-Orthodox Jews, but seem to me being more like David Finkelstein, and are only Jewish when it comes to criticizing thier fellow Jews (holocaust denial, anti-zionism, etc)
Anyways, I got to wondering, how many people here were even aware that there was a national Holocaust Memorial Day? I know its here in America, and of course in Israel, adn I think mot other countries have it also, all on the same day: today. Today is Yom Ha Shoah, Holocaust remembrance Day.
I know we're all busy people, but if you could all take a moment out of your day to pause, reflect, and remain silent, in honor of their memory, that would be very nice.
I will leave you with a saying that they often said as they were being marched toward the Gas chambers on Auschwitz, or Majdanek, or Chelmno, or many other camps:
"Ani ma'amin b'emunah shleimah b'viat ha Mashiach v'af al pi sheyitmameicha im kol zeh achakeh lo b'chol yom sheyavo"
"I believe in Perfect Faith in the coming of the Messiah. And though He may tarry, never the less I will await his coming every day"
Never Again.
