“If these children need me in days of sunshine,
how much more do they need me in days of darkness?”
—Jane Haining

You rose each day at 5 a.m. to go
to market for their food, sliced your leather
luggage into strips they’d use for soles
on worn-out shoes…

“In Days of Darkness”, a poem by Stuart A. Paterson for Holocaust Memorial Day

I am honored and humbled to be spending Holocaust Remembrance Day with my dear friend Jo Herzberg, the daughter of two survivors.
Jo and I are travelling from Detmold to Hagen to share the story of her father Fred, and his family, who were murdered by the Nazis. Last Sunday, we presented “Letters to Fred” for the first time in his hometown of Detmold.
