Although not widely known, the horrors of the Holocaust reached Jews in Arab countries in northern African Jews, who were also persecuted and murdered.
Why do they not return?
only the trees know
the trees who have watched thousands of these Jews
dead or alive, being thrown into pits
which were then covered with dirt.

it was only a moment before the train came to a halt
and i saw the beautiful orange, pink and purple streaks in the sky.
this made me so happy.
i remember thinking how far away it felt to me,
i, was cramped in a tiny dark cattle car
and the colors of the sky were free to float about the horizon.

RICHMOND, Va. After closing because of COID- 19 then reopening under the governorâs safety guidelines, the Virginia Holocaust Museum is now operating and inviting guests to visit and see âwhat hate can do.â
Virginia Holocaust Museum Executive Director Sam Asher said the 120,000-square-foot building is home to rare archives, images and survivor stories of the Holocaust.
The museumâs permanent exhibition takes you through a timeline of raw and poignant images like âThe Night of the Broken Glass.â

On this second day of the week leading up to International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, I review this next document signed by my grandfather Jonas Noreika. He demands the transfer of Jews from one village to another. Why were these Jews transferred during the Holocaust? What was their fate? (Given a 96.4 percent murder rate, we are nearly assured of the outcome.)
