In 1938, a 13-year-old girl in Poland sat down and wrote this letter in Hebrew.
She wrote to the principal of a school in Israel.
She asked for a certificate.
The kind that could save her life.She had a plan.
She had an older sister in Israel she could stay with.
All she needed was that one piece of paper.He wrote back and said it wasn't in his hands.
Three years later, Chava Cohen was gone. She was 16.
Swipe to read her words - written in her own handwriting, in Hebrew, in 1938.
These letters are preserved in the Central Zionist Archives in Jerusalem.
Hebrew is not just a language.
It is the key to connecting with our culture.
In the original words.
From the original source.
No translation in between.That is what I give my students.
That key.יזכר. We remember.

A new wave of research into genocide is overturning stories about victims going meekly to slaughter.
Resistance was frequent, both among the Armenians (against whom the Turks began a genocide #OTD in 1915) and among Jews during the Holocaust.

Another work for Yom HaShoah, also known as Martyrs and Heroes Day, which ends this evening at dusk. #YomHaShoah #HolocaustRemembrance #arthistory
Below, drawn by Hedwig Brahn in 1944, included in Philipp Manes' memoirs, the 'Tatsachenbericht - Terezín Street, which documents life in the Theresienstadt Ghetto.
From “Holocaust History: Concentration Camps,” Chapman University, Orange, California. “Theresienstadt ghetto and concentration camp were located in Terezín, Czech Republic, in a former military fortress. Initially, it was established as a ghetto for Czech Jews. Later, it served as a concentration and transit camp for German and Western European Jews. In 1942, SS authorities deported Jews to concentration camps, forced-labor camps, and killing centers. In the camp itself, thousands of people died from disease or starvation.
In 1944 the Nazis temporarily beautified Theresienstadt to deceive an investigating committee from the International Red Cross to make a film that pictured the ghetto as a 'spa town' where elderly German Jews could retire. The barracks were removed, houses were painted, and gardens planted, however, this was an elaborate hoax. The Nazis staged social and cultural events for the visitors. The facts were very different. Of the approximately 140,000 Jews transferred to Theresienstadt, 33,000 died, and 90,000 were deported; only about 19,000 survived. Children were sent to Theresienstadt. About 15,000 children passed through, and 90 percent of these children perished in the killing center.”
