My great-aunt, Henriette Gottlieb, was an opera singer in Berlin. At first, she was sent to Lodz ghetto, following the Nazi ban on Jewish performers. In the end, she was murdered at Auschwitz, in 1942. Fortunately, her performances can still be heard all over the world, on recordings that were saved.

Thank you for your words. I was appalled attending junior college in 1980’s and a professor said that WWI and WWII that what we taught before did not happen. He contradicted what my grandmother had told me what she witnessed and my Uncle in WWII also told me what he had witnessed. I was very shy and usually would not speak up. I raised my hand , stood up and told him he was a liar. I told the class what my relatives had witnessed. The Professor did not say a word.

We need to learn real history so we can help prevent repeating it.

I think often about the Holocaust and those that were killed, and those that survived. I am glad their stories will be remembered along with the lives they lived to share so much with us all.
