THIS week (Wednesday 27 January) is Holocaust Memorial Day – the day when we remember the millions of people killed by the Nazi regime, including six million Jews. Why does this day feel so important ƚŽŵĞ͍ŌĞƌĂůů͕tŽƌůĚtĂƌdǁŽĞŶĚĞĚĚĞĐĂĚĞƐďĞĨŽƌĞ I was born. Isn’t it just another piece of history?

Keren’s great-grandparents and great- aunts in Warsaw, around 1913. Her great-grandfather died in Auschwitz REMEMBERING The older I get, the more important it feels to have a focus to remember the horrors of the past. When I was growing up, we didn’t talk about the Holocaust in my Jewish family. Maybe it was because my great-grandfather and all his family, LIVES LOST from young children to old men, had been killed by the Nazis. My grandfather’s heart was broken when he learned of their fate. He died ten years before I was On Holocaust Memorial Day I’ll be remembering the six million Jews who born, but his trauma was passed down in silence.
