These are my beautiful parents, Harry & Ilse. Both Holocaust survivors but totally different survival stories. My Father watched his parents getting murdered by the Nazis in their home (he was only 14) and he survived 6 concentration camps and lost his entire family. My mother and her family were saved thanks to the incredible people who jeopardized their own lives to do the right thing. This picture reflects their love but especially their happiness about being alive and enjoying life. My parents taught us that hate is NEVER a way to go through life, LOVE IS. Hate is something that is taught & even indoctrinated. With the incredible antisemitism on the rise, we are reminded that Never Again is more than just a phrase; it’s an urgent call to action. We must teach love & compassion; LOVE ALWAYS WINS. This picture was taken in 1970, a true reflection of love.
