As a child who never grew up with family stories from the holocaust it was always hard to connect. But 4 years ago as I walked through the death camps in Poland I realized that even though no one had the last name Solomont, these 6 million Jews were all my family.
It is now my responsibility to remember, to pass on, to live the life as a young Jewish girl for all those who could not.
To live the dream of 6 million Jews who only wished to live in Israel, dreamed of their first steps they would take in the Holy Land.
We live in a world of hate, no matter were we go we have to be careful because we are Jewish.
I AM PROUD TO BE A JEW, PROUD TO BE ISRAELI, PROUD TO SAY WE HAVE A JEWISH STATE.
Not being in Israel now just reminds me how disconnected our generation is becoming.
No one cares, no one realizes how our Jewish Identity is dying.
We can not give up! We are living proof that these horrible people failed, we are living proof that the Jewish people live on and will always live on.
As children we CAN NOT forget that. It is our time to take it in, to ask questions, to get answers about our Jewish roots, and our time to pass it on, without us it is all going to disappear.
This is a good day just to take a look and appreciate our heritage, it is our responsibility to keep it going.
I will remember, I will re-tell these stories, I will ask questions so will never forget.
