The lines about not recognizing the severity of the situation and Henry’s mom not wanting to leave until the SS came knocking were especially powerful. I don’t know if you made a difference in anyone you were trying to change the mind of, but I know you were brave (and smart) to use that opportunity to educate and to share a piece of history. I also know that you gave courage to many others who felt the same way and maybe thought they were alone in those feelings, and I believe that, whether or not you changed any minds, you still made people stop and think. Beautiful article, Yasher Koach!

If the story you so bravely shared reached even one person, you’ve made a difference.
Keep using your courageous voice to serve justice, tell the truth, and educate the next generation. 🙌🏼

]]> Comment on How Teach the Shoah Brought My Dad Back to Me by Cathy Polakoff https://www.teachtheshoah.org/2025/09/24/how-teach-the-shoah-brought-my-dad-back-to-me/#comment-18149 Mon, 29 Sep 2025 20:15:15 +0000 https://www.teachtheshoah.org/?p=249957#comment-18149 Roberta, I just want you to know that the paragraph about what brought anxiety and upset to your dad speaks volumes about what he went through, and it’s profound effect on you and your entire family. But the quote from your dad, that is like gold. It’s an empowering sentiment, and shows not only the kind of man he was, but the kind of woman he raised you to be. I think he would be very proud of you. Thank you for sharing your story.

The stories + new tellers and their own experiences of the stories as part of the dialogue between memory and evidence.
