During the Holocaust Memorial siren this mornig, IDF Lieutenant Lian Gilboa saluted her grandmother, Tova Gilboa, who is 93 year olds and a Holocaust survivor of Auschwitz.
To the Nazis, she was A-17740.
To us, she is Miriam, a Holocaust survivor & grandmother of 10.
Miriam & her family were sent to Auschwitz in 1944. She was the only one who made it out alive.
We're the last generation to hear the stories firsthand. It is our duty to remember.
In memory of 6 million men, women and children who were murdered just because they were Jewish.
To commemorate the #Holocaust and its victims, we must speak out against antisemitism today. In the face of darkness, be the light.
#VoicesofLight#CombatAntisemitism
Today is the Eve of Israel’s Holocaust Memorial Day. ✡️
We bow our heads and remember our fathers, mothers, brothers, and sisters who perished in the gas chambers, and in the death camps - only because they were Jews. #HolocaustRemembranceDay
Sometimes, a picture really is worth a thousand words.
This is Holocaust survivor Ervin and his twin granddaughters—both soldiers in the Israel Defense Forces.
On Israeli Holocaust Remembrance Day,
we remember their stories,
we listen to their voices
& we vow
Never
Again.
מברך את החלטת ממשלת סינגפור לפתוח שגרירות בישראל לראשונה מאז כוננו היחסים בינינו ב1965. כך עדכן אותי ידידי שר החוץ הסינגפורי @VivianBala בפגישתנו שנערכה היום. ההחלטה של סינגפור מהווה עדות נוספת ליחסים הטובים והמיוחדים בין המדינות.🇮🇱🇸🇬
