Holocaust Remembrance: Honoring Heroes and Resilience

Remember. ❤️‍🩹🇮🇱✡️ Did you know that today, January 27, is Holocaust Remembrance Day? 🔹It’s hard to remember things we’d rather forget. 🔹Or things that we don’t fully understand. 🔹Or things we feel ill-prepared to discuss with the kids. 👉Start when they’re younger and discuss the heroes they can understand. You don’t have to tell the whole story. Corrie ten Boom hid Jews in her house, eventually going to Ravensbrück because of it. There she smuggled in her Bible to bring hope and Jesus to scared and hurting people. She was rele“clerical error”. After the war, she opened a refuge for concentration camp survivors and kept on preaching despite losing so many of her family during WW2.❤️ If you want to start somewhere, start with Corrie. Or Anne. Or Schindler. Or the mosque that hid Jews. Or the churches who hid children. 👉Talk about bravery and real heroes of World War 2. And when they’re older, go to a Holocaust Museum like the one in Houston or Atlanta or St. Petersburg. And remember. ❤️ 👉If you’re a parent struggling with where to start, I’d love to give you some picture book suggestions. 📸May 2021; The Florida Holocaust Museum @thefhm 1️⃣Cattle car that transported to concentration camps 2️⃣Camp uniform 3️⃣Corrie ten Boom interpreter @creationmuseum - so amazing!
