Welcome to Litsy!

One of the best books about the Holocaust that I have ever read. (And I‘ve read many!)

Eva is a hero all in her own right.
Both books (this and Eva's Story) work together perfectly and both as touching as each other.
There are similarities between Eva and Anne Frank but both both are amazing

This selfie was taken on the night I took my daughter to hear Eva Schloss talk about her childhood, family, and time spent at Auschwitz. This was on the Wednesday after the massacre at the Tree of Life Synagogue. We are not Jewish but I felt that made it even more important that I bring her to listen to Eva Schloss‘s story. There are so few survivors left from the Holocaust. It‘s vital that we remember and learn now more than ever. #friyayintro

Tonight I listened to Eva Schloss tell her story in Hartford, CT. So inspiring!! She reminded us to stand up to hate and not forget that when the world is burning, there are still many wonderful people ready to help. My 2 biggest takeaways: treatment of refugees around the world now is the much the same as treatment of the Jewish refugees escaping the Nazis AND we need to use our scientists to save the planet from environmental destruction! Wow!

On Jan. 27, 1945, the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by Soviet forces. In 2005, the U.N. General Assembly proclaimed Jan. 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day. More than 11 million people were killed in the Holocaust. The number is so large you lose sight of the individuals who make up that figure.
“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”E. Wiesel

Went to a thrift shop during my lunch break, and was happy to find new books (you can never own too many books!) Going to Auschwitz soon, so will read this one before the trip.

I enjoy reading this one. It showed me how e shouldnt complain about our lives, and it taught me in spite everything there is still hope and aways to move on with life.
