I’m still a bit in shock and emotional, I was right under the shul in my nearest Jewish community, (in Poland) yesterday was Holocaust remembrance day so there was the event there and people gave speeches, including a lady who survived the biggest genocide in the world, was literally a few feet away from me and I almost cried in public.. and i felt so bad for her, i can’t explain it , she witnessed all the atrocities and most of her familywas murdered by the Nazis. And i’m thinkjng that i was born in a moment to meet a person who witnessed the biggest genocide in the history of humanity
Then the chazzan was saying prayers for the people who perished, and in that exact place (under the synagogue) they were taking Jews to the camps.. then we went to the ghetto memorial and we placed stones . I also got to meet a few very sweet people and practice my Yiddish . And still I have a question in my head “why?!” They didn’t deserve it. NONE OF THEM!
