Buttons and the Holocaust

Today is Israel's official Holocaust Memorial day. It is traditionally always held one week before the national Rememberance Day for Israel's soldiers and Victims of Terror. I took the photograph last night at our local memorial service for the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust. The two girls are pupils at the Aseh Chayil school in Efrat and are part of the Button Project. This is similar to the Paper Clip project. The children from the school are collecting 1,500,000 buttons, each button representing a Jewish child murdered by the Nazis and thier helpers. Study of the Holocaust has been removed from the British school curriculum because it "offends" the Moslem population. Moslems throughout the world, headed by Iran, claim that the Holocaust never occured. Antisemitism is rampant in every country, especially in Europe. Every civilised person has to Remember. Remember the six million Jews and millions of others murdered during the Nazi regime. Remember -Yizchor.
