Israel's youngest citizens find solace in the resilience of some of its oldest: "Surely our Holocaust survivors give us the most hope."
From the blog of Inna Rogatchi at The Times of Israel
World leaders vowed to remember and guard against the atrocities of the Holocaust ever happening again, but recent reports point to a significant resurgence of antisemitism.
As time goes on, fewer and fewer Holocaust survivors remain to tell their stories of hardship at the hands of the Nazis and their endurance afterwards. One Israeli initiative is teaching the younger generation this history with an up-close and personal approach. It's called Zikaron Basalon – “Living Room Remembrance” – and it's become a powerful way for Holocaust survivors to tell their stories directly to young people, carrying a longer-lasting impact.
