  1. What a great story. So moving. Thank you. In Germany’s, I visited one of the camps, and I have not been the same towards me since then. I think that’s why today’s hate in America scares me, as an African American.

    • Hatred, anger and manipulation psychologically, with fear-mongering, economic struggles and political bullying show how quickly hatred can fester. Sadly, so many young people know nothing about the atrocities of the holocaust. That is scary too the ignorance…

  2. I don’t even know where to begin in responding to this beautifully written post. What a beautiful gift to have, to treasure, and to have been given the necklace by your grandmother while she was still alive. I am very sentimental, and also treasure the things given to me by those no longer here- just yesterday I wore a watch necklace that had been my mother in laws- feeling that connection, glad to have it around my neck. Yes, I understand how you feel it is a talisman- it connects you to your history, to those who perished. You are the continuing link in the chain of your family. ❤ ❤

    • You are so kind. I am drawn to the necklace because of its history and do feel great responsibility to care for it, as I would for the other mothers and strong women, who came before me. ❤
