The Siren
Since the early 1960s, the sound of a siren on Yom Hashoah stops traffic and pedestrians throughout the State of Israel for two minutes of silent devotion. The siren blows at sundown and once again at 11:00 A.M. on this date. There is no public entertainment on Yom Hashoah, as theaters, cinemas, pubs, and other public venues are closed throughout Israel. YouTube Video
I Stood With Abraham
Then I saw the night descend upon my people.
I saw them suffer as no people has ever suffered before.
I saw them burned and gassed and tortured.
Then, like the phoenix, I saw them rise again in the old land.
I saw them nurture saplings in the wilderness
And I watched them make the desert bloom.
They are bone of my bone,
Flesh of my flesh,
Soul of my people.
They are my people.
They will live within me
and I will live with them.
Forever.
Abba Hillel Silver (adapted – The New Mahzor, Prayer Book Press)Z'CHOR - REMEMBER, NEVER FORGET!
We mourn them and vow not to forget them. We are heirs to their horror, their heroism, their hopes. -Andre Ungar (adapted)
We mourn for millions of people, brutally destroyed by "civilized people" behaving like savages.
The blood of of the innocent who perished in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Bergen-Belsen, Buchenwald, Dachau, Treblinka, and Theresienstadt, cries out to humanity. -Morris Silverman (adapted)
