Holocaust - Memorial Day

B"H

Next week, the national Israeli Holocaust - Memorial (Yom HaShoah) is taking place. The day is always depressiv for each of us. The whole day we hear about this only subject. Holocaust - survivors speak on the radio and TV, memorial services everywhere and in the morning, we stand still to a two - minute sirene sound.

Today's Israeli daily paper MAARIV reports about survivors. According to Maariv, today there are 250,000 Holocaust - survivors in Israel of whom 80,000 live below poverty line.
This is a disgrace for Israel. Offcials say that the government does not have any money to support survivor organizations and, therefore, has to make budget cuts all the time.
