Today is World Holocaust Memorial Day
And this is my Facebook status. Thought I'd share. Is post to FHF but I'll get yelled at 
Today is #WorldHolocaustMemorialDay. And as such, as the grandchild of survivors, it bears repeating. The horrors my grandmother lived were too much for her to talk about. Ever. I know bits and pieces from my grandfather and other family members. My grandfather's story I know by heart. Because he was the biggest proponent of NEVER FORGET. He dedicated his life after surviving and moving to Canada to human services, through his work with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, the Liberal party, and later as a citizenship judge. What is happening today, now, here, would break his heart. His life was spent working to make sure THIS exact thing never happened. You want to brush it off? Check your history books. Closing borders. Censoring government agencies. Attacking the press. The language used by those in his administration is ACTUAL LITERAL nazi language. This is real. Never forget.

Re: Today is World Holocaust Memorial Day
I'm stunned and actually sickened that in 30 years, I have never heard of this to be on my birthday.
NEVER forget.

Re: Today is World Holocaust Memorial Day
I just read about this organization. They service Holocaust survivors who are poor. I am putting them on my list to donate to.

Today is World Holocaust Memorial Day
My next door neighbors growing up were Holocaust survivors. They were amazing people and spent their free time speaking to school groups all over the island. We must never ever ever allow these stories to go untold and we must fight hard to make sure that we don't need future memorial days for other genocides.

Re: Today is World Holocaust Memorial Day
never forget! It's scary that today people either don't recognize the similarities, or don't care.

This is the uncle, I believe, of my grandfather. The picture of his grandfather that was taken by him hangs in my grandfathers house. Please take the time to read about him and see some of his pictures Here. Thank you.
