Rabbi Dr. Bernhard Rosenberg , son of survivors of AUSCHWITZ
Holocaust survivor: ‘Hamas atrocities many times worse than the Nazis.’
90-year-old Miriam Schlisser lived through the Holocaust and the years preceding it, but the emotional turmoil she has experienced since Oct. 7 has brought her to difficult conclusions.
Please do not call this horrible war a Holocaust.
I have stories from survivors in my many books describing similar atrocities as those done by Hamas.
However, the ramification of this war is the same as the Holocaust.
Many will seek all their lives for survivors not knowing they are dead or alive.
Numerous families lost children to these barbarians and in some cases will have to remarry, just like in the Holocaust. My father’s first wife was murdered together with two children.
Like survivors of this war PTSD will be rampant as it is in the Holocaust community.
I have a son, his wife and their two babies in Jerusalem. My oldest grandson is learning in a yeshiva in Israel. I have a nephew and cousins living in Israel, some of which have been called up to go to war. I feel your pain, brothers and sisters, can send you a hug and offer prayers. I basically do not sleep as I am writing articles in media around the world. I just came back from Israel and attended the funeral of over 40. Israeli soldiers. I just met my newfound cousins discovered through DNA.
The horrors of Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps will soon be lost to living memory. But the recent rise in antisemitsm and the current war in ISRAEL underlines the need never to forget.
Four years after the liberation of the largest Nazi extermination camp, on 27 January 1945, the German philosopher Theodor Adorno observed: “To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric.” He came to revise that view, along with its implication that a kind of silence was perhaps the only possible response to the horror of the Holocaust. Later, he wrote that “perennial suffering has as much right to expression as a tortured man to scream” The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
On this annual day of commemoration, the UN urges every member state to honor the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and millions of other victims of Nazism and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides . NEVER GIVE UP SEARCHING.
