In rememberance of Yom Hashoah - Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day 5 May 2005 – 26 Nissan 5765
“The camp guard who came to open the gate said, ‘You are free and you can leave.’ …No one moved, no one went out. We did not laugh, we were not happy, we were apathetic—and the Russians came. A general came in, he was Jewish. He told us that he was delighted to find that there were still people alive in the camp. He started to cry; but we didn’t. He wept and we didn’t.”
Bela Braver, deported to Auschwitz, liberated from Lichtewerden, Czechoslovakia, by the Red Army.
In honour of the day there will be no further postings until tomorrow.
