I don't have both my parents to talk to
It is the first Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day that I don't have both my parents to talk to.
Near the memorial candles I lit for my mother's family and my father's family, I've been looking at pictures and decided to share a few:
אבי מאיר לחמנוביץ נולד בשנת 1916 בעיר חוסט שבצכוסלובקיהאימי בלנקה לחמנוביץ, לבית פיקסלר נולדה בשנת 1925 בעיר טייטש שבצכוסלובקיה הם עלו לארץ ישראל בשנת 1949
My mother with the yellow star in camp during the holocaust, my mother and father getting married after the holocaust without any parents – all family left is in the picture.
In 1999 we went back and we took a picture of my parents in the place they met after the holocaust.
I miss them a lot
