My son Yuval and I returned recently from a remembrance trip to Poland

By Isaac Aizenman

My son Yuval and I returned recently from a remembrance trip to Poland. We visited the towns of Kozienice and Pulawy, were our family lived before the Holocaust. We went to Treblinka extermination camp were my grand grand parent Itzhak Milgrom ז"ל and his 3 daughters that were with him on that time, named Haia ז"ל , Chana ז"ל and Laja ז"ל were deported from Kozienice in the 27 of September 1942 and were killed on arrival by the nazis in that tragic day . We went also to Sobibor extermination camp were our beloved family relatives Moshe Shimson Aizenman ז"ל his wife Fraida Laja ז"ל and their daughter Rivka Matel ז"ל perished with the same tragic fate at the hands of the terrible nazis on arrival, in May 1942, being deported from the town of Opole Lubelski (were they stayed for two years and were previously deported from Pulawy in December 1939 ) .

We prayed Tehilim for their souls in those very sad places and said some words on the name of the six million jews ז"ל that perished in that dark days and special words for our families, all of them exterminated in the Shoa. There is no enough words to describe the sentiments of sadness of these terrible places, not even a thousand words will be enough for describing all of the atrocities that they passed there .No human mind can imagine such evil, because the evil in that places surpassed everything.

It has been 83 years since the Holocaust and we need to remembrer in order to preserve the memories of that dark period of our history as jews and to transmit this history to future generations for combating the antisemitism that unfortunately is rising every day in this dark times since October 7th 2023.

Also our journey reminded us to be proud jews in Israel and in every place in the world ; Jews that will defend and fight for their rights as human beings, jews that will defend his rights to our presence in Israel and will continue to live forever here in Israel, as a free and democratic society building our country and sharing our destiny with the jews all over the world. Jews that have the power to decide by themselves about their future and have the power to improve the lifes of others in this world.

May the memory of the six million jews ז"ל and our relatives ז"ל of Family Aizenman be blessed forever.

NEVER AGAIN
