“I have tried to keep memory alive... I have tried to fight those who would forget.
Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices.”
― Elie Wiesel
This painting of my grandparents was painted by my mother . They all survived the terrible Shoah . They suffered enormously, but they managed to go on in life and
raised a wonderful family !They taught us to love and respect people , to laugh and be kind .Never to hate ! I will always be grateful for that !
“ Thank you “ for everything !
The work of art was given to me by the artist, my dear friend,Dr.Kieselstein

Acest tablou al bunicilor mei a fost pictat de mama mea.Ei au supravieţuit Holocaustul teribil. Au suferit enorm, dar au reuşit să meargă înainte în viaţă şi să
întemeieze o familie minunată! Ei ne-au învăţat să iubim şi să respectăm oamenii, să râdem şi să fim buni.Să nu urâm ! Voi fi mereu recunoscătoare pentru asta!
“ Mulţumesc" pentru tot!
"The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the
sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child
that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only
a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my
soul and devoured it."- Elie Wiesel, Night, Ch. 3
"When they withdrew, next to me were two corpses, side
by side, the father and the son. I was fifteen years old."
- Elie Wiesel, Night, Ch. 7
"After my father's death, nothing could touch me
any more."- Elie Wiesel, Night, Ch. 9
“To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a
second time.” ― Elie Wiesel, Night
We are grateful to those Christians who saved Jews.
Wir sind den Christen, die Juden retteten, sehr dankbar.
ודתנו העמוקה שלוחה לנוצרים שהצילו ת.יהודים
"How could I forget that concert, given to an audience of dying and dead men!"- Elie Wiesel, Night, Ch. 6
“I shall never forget Juliek. How could I forget this concert given before an audience of the dead and dying? Even today, when I hear that particular piece by Beethoven, my eyes close and out of the darkness emerges the pale and
melancholy face of my Polish comrade bidding farewell to an audience of dying men.” Elie Wiesel, The Night
“Survival” by Ann Froman, Sculptor
This bronze sculpture shows the people who survived the
Holocaust, coming to the United States of America, for safety,
freedom of religion and protection. The man whose outstretched hands
helping the people to safety represents Raoul
Wallenberg. He was the Swedish Diplomat
that saved 100,000 Jews. The man holding the flag represents Simon
Wiesenthal, the famous Nazi hunter.
The boys on either side one with a gun for protection,
the other reading the Bible, for religious freedom to all people.
“A religious woman, who knew exactly when the Day of Atonement was, prepared a candlestick
from the little bread she had, put a little margarine inside it, tore a narrow strip
from her dress which she lit. So we had a
candle for Yom Kippur. She prayed while we all
wept bitterly.”
As told by my mother
My mom told my sister and me the story of the
Yom Kippur candle when we were in
Auschwitz, in 2000.
I told Tibor the story and he created these
sketches, painting , statue about this
scene. The little girl is my mother.
“ The scenes are the same as you told me: the brick
stove, improvised candle and people sad & crying
after prayers. “ ( Tibor Spitz )
Thank you ,my dear friend !
“I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age,
that humanity would never tolerate it . . .” ― Elie Wiesel, Night
