Stories of Remembrance
by - Ina Levitt-Yanover
World War II, the Holocaust and the liberation of the concentration camps
took place over 60 years ago. Every spring we commemorate these events
with the March of the Living.
We march to honour and to remember
those who died. We also march to honour and to remember those who survived.
Remembrance
day is a day to remember those who died in the wars.
As
genealogists, we don't need a special day to remember. That is what we do.
All the work that we do to find our ancestors and their descendants is so
that we can remember them and their way of life.
It is crucial that
we remember as the survivors of the Holocaust are growing old, leaving
only memories of that horrendous era. Each year, the March becomes more
poignant for the survivors as the camps and the memories fade.
These
stories all remember - the war; the dead; the survivors, (a lost and then
found, brother-in-law) and the liberation. Read to celebrate their lives
and to remember.
