The amazing survival of a Jewish boy who was robbed of his childhood.

Far from protecting against rampant antisemitism, it has only fueled it.

Two Jews, one a Savior whose sufferings became the source of hope for millions, the other a survivor left alone with his grief.

“Every representative who has come here is a triumph of light for the Jewish people and a reminder that we are the victory of the spirit,” said Eli Sharabi, a former Israeli hostage who spent 491 days in Hamas captivity.

On Yom HaShoah, the country unites in a powerful moment of silence and in ceremonies such as “Lechol Ish Yesh Shem” (לכל איש יש שם, “Every Person Has a Name”) to remember the Jews murdered in the Holocaust.

“After the Holocaust, we knew that we could never again leave it in other people’s hands to protect us because no one was going to.”

Gad Fartouk, 93, prays for 59 hostages in Gaza before lighting a torch at Israel’s Holocaust memorial ceremony marking 80 years since Nazi defeat.

 Marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz, Israel’s head of state will join Holocaust survivors, former Hamas hostages, and other participants in the annual March of the Living.

“The presence of ambassadors from around the world today is a powerful reminder that the victims’ memories live on,” stated Danny Danon, Israeli ambassador to the United Nations.
