In the Hall of Remembrance at Yad Vashem on #YomHaShoah
#YomHaShoah
Wreaths were laid in memory of the Six Million this morning in the Hall of Remembrance at Yad Vashem
This #YomHaShoah , I’m thinking of Alex Dancyg.
Born in Warsaw, 1948, to Holocaust survivor parents. He’s a Holocaust historian, and on October 7, Hamas took him hostage from Nir Oz. Captivity survivors say he gave history lectures to fellow hostages.
Hamas must let him go. 🎗️
On this Yom HaShoah, we must remember the heroes that, even in the face of adversity, were courageous enough to speak up and give voices to all of those who were silenced during the Holocaust. Yad Vashem #MyHolocaustHero #YVAmbHolocaustHero
