Little by little...Denying Holocaust! Risen in my lifetime.

Remember the Holocaust. Never forget how it came to be: little by little...hateful rhetoric, fear-mongering, visible designations of discrimination, radically inhumane nationalism, white supremacy...all festering until reality reflected rhetoric, until... #HolocaustMemorialDay

I did not know the value..of those conversations.

Then l had so little grown up understanding

Last ten years reflect n my journey,understand better

I grieve

I worked for a survivor of concentration camp,he mentored me into trade

He mentored me into Adulthood.

Watched me boxed in a contest

Helped me learn to drive.

He passed to me a trade

Passed to me his own (plus others),Experiance of life

Friendship.....Long chats,asking me to run to Polska Bakers for half rye loaf ,along with struddles.

Cuppa ,treat, Then laugh ,pause, reflect times in camp when only had cabbage soup.

He was fortunate ...tailoring trade allowed him to be kept......not safe  . .Kept

I hold these moments in my heart forever.......miss that great person ....Mr Todryk

In our trade there were so many who experianced the war,even some who fought for Germans.

Jewish haberdazeries told me own experiances.

Some younger poles.They had too fight for enemy or die..it was when Germans occupied..

often happened in wars.

I am better person for knowing their stories

I am better person for listening to those experiances

I am better person because l was small part witness making better our society,

I get angry when some deny these people and powerful message they shared.
