Watching the Yom Hashoah service that was held on April 11, 2021, hosted by the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education was a very special experience for me as my cousin Ida Kolkin was the keynote speaker. Her excellent presentation furnished me with information about her parents, Maria and Fred, that I was not aware of. I hope there will be many more such speakers that will investigate their Holocaust parents background. I was also touched by the fact that Rabbi Moshe Grussgott is the grandson of those who were in the Shoah; his parents are my very dear and close friends. I hope everyone noticed the list of survivors that was shown on YouTube, which included my parents, Jacob and Rachel Rosenberg, and those of the Holocaust community I so dearly loved.
