For those who have not yet visited it, I highly recommend the Scroll of Fire monument, between Beir Shemesh and Jerusalem. It memorializes both those who were murdered in the Shoah and those who died in the struggle to re-establish the Jewish state in the Jewish homeland- the cost of not having a state, and the cost of having one. Very moving.
Thank you, Joshua, for the amazing, heartfelt stories of the cost of having a Jewish state. The cost of not having a Jewish state is incomprehensible. The Holocaust will always be a reminder of what will happen if there is no Jewish state. Never Again is both a reminder and a warning.
I was in Hannover on Sunday, attending the deeply emotional ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen Belsen. Haunted by what I already knew, hearing the testimony of the survivors on the very spot, was chilling.
In total contrast, it was a joy to arrive back in Israel yesterday, as my emotions run high.
Thank you again, as always, for sharing your insightful writing.
