Tomorrow is Yom Hashoah—Holocaust Day of Remembrance to remember of the victims of the Holocaust. We must never forget the stories of the victims of the Holocaust. And must try harder to avoid repeating the horrors that took place during the years the Nazi’s were in power.
In recognition of Yom Hashoah our cable TV access channels will air 4 interviews with holocaust survivors. We just produced a fascinating interview with Kurt Rothschild, a resident of Ardsley—a great story of a young boy fleeing from Nazi Germany, and returning to liberate Europe with the US Army. Kurt lost his mother, father, sister, and many relatives to the Nazi horror. On a good note Hannah & Kurt will be married 70 years this May. A great love story and an enduring one What a positive story. You can watch the interview with Hugh McAuley on your computer by clicking on to the following link:
