Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) begins tonight, April 15th, and ends Thursday evening, April 16th.
We honor and remember the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
You can also read about it on Yad Vashmem’s site, here.
Mimi Writes…a beautiful tribute and memorial.
Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
Mary Elizabeth Frye
The photographs above were taken by me when I visited the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum a few years back.
Lorri M. Writings and Photography 
Beautiful and important tribute, Lorri. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you.
It comes every year – bringing back the pain. So important to remember. The only ones still alive were teens or children – it is our duty to keep those painful memories and pass them on. Thank you for sharing, Lorri.
I agree…it is our duty to hold those painful memories, and make sure they are handed down to future generations.
Thank you, Leora.
